Dedria Humphries Barker tells her story on the theme 'The Birds and the Bees' at The Robin Theatre in Lansing.

One of our recent Pop-Up Stories events was at the Robin Theatre in Lansing. The theme was “The Birds and the Bees.”

Storyteller Dedria Humphries Barker took a literal interpretation of the theme "The Birds and the Bees" at our most recent Pop-Up Stories event, telling this story from her childhood.

We’ve got another Pop-Up Stories coming up soon.  Join us at Valley Court Park in East Lansing on Wednesday, July 29th for stories on the theme “The Call of the Wild." If you want to tell your own story, email us at currentstate@wkar.org. You can also stay up to date on all our upcoming events by liking our Facebook page at Pop Up Stories Lansing.
