Magic of the Far East at Ballygar Town Hall

Singaporean storyteller Verena Tay will be at Ballygar Town Hall this Saturday night, August 12, for her one-woman show, Natural Phenomena, Folktales from Asia.

This Asian insight on the origins of life and man’s relationship with the natural world promises to transport Ballygar audiences to far-flung corners of China, Japan and Indonesia.
