Thank you to the Appalachian Equality Chorus for bringing so many good vibes to the teahouse for this very special open house last weekend! The Pride Flights were back and the teahouse was full of smiling faces. We loved having you all here!

Starting tomorrow August 28th through the end of September: In honor of Tennessee's queen, join us as we honor her legacy and raise a glass of "the house wine of the South".....a traditional sweet tea, Dolly style. 1.00 of each glass sold will be donated to her Imagination Library. Let's bring more sweetness to the world and honor a legend who made things better by being here. In her words: "Leave something good in every day."

In another wonderful collaboration with the Int. Storytelling Center help us welcome storytelling Tim Ereneta to the teahouse for this very special Monday night program: - https://www.timereneta.info/!

Storyteller Tim Ereneta connects ancient stories to modern-day life, as he shares classic and forgotten fairy tales with audiences of all ages—but especially adults. Trained as a playwright and actor, Ereneta is an award-winning storyteller based in Berkeley, California, who has performed on stages in schools, theaters, and festivals across the country. Originally interested in sketch comedy, Tim found he could get as big a reaction from audiences from telling a Grimm’s fairy tale as he could from performing original comedy.

Come gather around the fireplace for this cozy, fairy tale themed special collaboration!

Cost: 15.00 per person

Location: Living room/fireplace, 1st floor

“Ereneta’s methodical manner and quiet wit are a refreshing change of pace.”
