Acclaimed Kentucky Storyteller to speak April 4 at LWC

Tom Chaney will present Moonshine, Whiskey, Pan Fried Chicken and Peacocks
COLUMBIA, KY. Storyteller Tom Chaney will entertain audience members April 4 at Lindsey Wilson College.

Chaney will present Moonshine, Whiskey, Pan Fried Chicken and Peacocks at 4 p.m. CST Tuesday, April 4, in W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall.


Chaney, who operates a bookstore in Horse Cave, is a well-known storyteller who has also been a college professor, editorial writer for the Kentucky Post, farmer and legendary fryer of chickens.

His performance is part of the 2005-06 Lindsey Wilson Cultural Affair Series.

Calvin Trilling described him as "ample man who favored jeans . . .

Chaney has been described as an expert charmer. In a New Yorker profile written over 20 years ago, Calvin Trillin described Chaney as an ample man who favored bluejeans and wore a red beard that always seemed to have a pipe jutting out of it. Courier-Journal reporter Marty Rosen described him as a spellbinding puller of legs.

Chaney is credited for starting the Kentucky Repertory Theatre (formerly known as Horse Cave Theatre) in the 1970s.

Chaney fell in love with the theater in 1956 when he attended Cat on a Hot Tin Roof staring Paul Newman, Barbara Bel Geddes and Burl Ives in New York City on a high school senior class trip.

Chaney one of three founders of Horse Cave Theatre

Twenty years later, Chaney started the theater with friends Joe Graber, Bill Austin and Warren Hammack.

USA Today recently named the Kentucky Repertory Theatre one of "10 great places to see the lights way off-Broadway."
