Wintertelling 2013

 It was a lovely evening for our annual Wintertelling event,
sponsored by the Monroe County Public Library (thank you, Sara, for setting everything up!)

People came in chilly from the cold night and took their seats in the auditorium, chatting to each other, and preparing to listen and be entertained.

As the storytellers took the stage one by one, I watched the audience react to each story --some stories brought smiles and chuckles, even a few belly laughs; some stories brought rueful head nods and sighs; some stories had people wiping away a tear.

Each teller presented their carefully crafted story like a jewel for the audience to appreciate.

 Applause to all who participated!  

It was a Wintertelling to remember.

Posters out for Wintertelling!

Here's our poster for the upcoming Wintertelling 2013 -
do you have a perfect place to put one up????
Stop by the Monroe County Public Library Children's Department to pick up a few.

Note: NOT a program for young children.  More like 6th grade and up, and mostly meant for adults.

Auditioning?

 

If you are thinking of auditioning to tell at Wintertelling, or if you are just interested in preparing a story, here are some tips from The Storytelling Center, Inc of New York City:   Story Tips You Can Use

The purpose...

"But the purpose of stories was to take the ugly, terrifying truths with which one must live and turn them into brave and beautiful ideas one might love..."
