Allison Stieger lecture at Williamsville Hall

The Rock River Players hosts mythologist Allison Stieger for a lecture entitled “The Power of Mythology in Creative Life” on Thursday, March 26, at 7 pm, at the Williamsville Hall, 35 Dover Road.

With a master's in mythological studies in depth psychology and experience with the Joseph Campbell Foundation, Stieger, a recent transplant to Windham County from Seattle, has been a working mythologist for over 20 years.

The evening will include a lecture on the lessons to be learned from the world’s most ancient stories. These stories have lasted and resonated with humans for millennia, containing things that the ancients were trying to convey about connection, the joys and pains of making art, and how to share lessons learned. Creators and artists in any field can benefit from Stieger’s teachings.

The lecture is free, but a collection will be taken to benefit the Rock River Players and the Williamsville Hall. Whatever is raised by donation will be matched by Stieger, up to $500. A question and answer session will follow, as will a chance to socialize.

The lecture will be live-streamed, and will coincide with the launch date of Stieger’s new online class, “The Power of Mythology in Creative Life,” available on Stieger’s website www.mythicstories.com at the conclusion of the lecture.
