<p>TUNKHANNOCK &#8212; share my years of research to show you what leprechauns really look like, how they dress, where they live, how to catch one, AND what to do if you do catch one. Catching a leprechaun is one thing, but getting his gold? Well, that&#8217;s another thing entirely!&#8221;</p><p>For the third year in a row, the Dietrich Theater is hosting a true leprechaun expert just in time for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. Bring your family and friends to meet Hal Pratt, storyteller and leprechaun expert, and learn the truth about leprechauns on Saturday, March 16 at 11 a.m. at the Dietrich Theater. This free presentation is suitable for all ages. You just have to be wise enough to believe, according to Hal.</p><p>For the last three years Pratt charmed audiences of at least 50 children and adults with his storytelling about leprechaun lore. All are welcome to come and see and listen to a master storyteller weave his tales. Right before your eyes you will see him transform himself into an actual leprechaun.</p><p>Pratt has been a librarian and storyteller for the past 35 years. Besides leprechauns, he knows all about Brer Rabbit and friends, ghosts and haunts, wee folk of all sizes, wonder tales, fairy tales, folk tales and animal tails of all sizes. His stories have appeared in Highlights for Children,&#8221; &#8220;Plays&#8221; and various small press magazines. His children&#8217;s book, &#8220;The Diamond Button,&#8221; may be borrowed from Tunkhannock Public Library. Pratt has recently conducted storytelling workshops, a collaboration of the Dietrich Theater and the Tunkhannock Public Library.</p><p>For information or free reservations for Leprechaun Lore, call 570-996-1500.</p><style>
