Musician and Storyteller Pat Braden proudly introduces his second one man show, Shack Tales to the theatre stage. A 72 minute storytelling/musical theatre sequel to his first show, A Place to call Home, Shack Tales is a reflection on and a celebration of life experiences in the town where he grew up and raised his own family.

Shack Tales praises life in Yellowknife’s Old Town and the lives of Old Towners, who, while carving out a life for themselves and their families, became legend.  Shack Tales pays tribute to Yellowknife’s colourful history, to generations – past, present and future and to any place where we choose to plant our roots, to raise our families and to grow old.

Audience response to Shack Tales:

“You paint a picture of Yellowknife that I love so much, and then tie it in with the family stuff which makes me realize the polarity on where home is for me. You bring home the meaning of living presently, with your whole heart.”
“I don’t know how but you hypnotize the audience Pat. Your style of storytelling is timeless and place-less. It is universal. I was my grandmother, my mother, my father, myself, my beautiful little boys and my grand children. You made us in the audience to appreciate what we have and more than anything you made us realize that we all have something in common. We yearn for warm home and loving families.”
