Tellabration™ – Worldwide Day of Storytelling
Event Details
The West Virginia Storytelling Guild and Oglebay Institute invite you to Tellabration™!
Tellabration™ is a free event at which storytellers share stories as a way to say “thank you” for taking the opportunity to listen. Five members of the West Virginia Storytelling Guild will present a variety of family-friendly stories for audience members of all ages.
Guild president Judi Tarowsky said, “West Virginia has a strong storytelling tradition. We work to keep this tradition burning brightly! The audience and the storytellers share the magic of the story, whether it is a personal story, tall tale, or folktale. Storytelling is the way cultures throughout the centuries have shared their knowledge and wisdom. And stories ‘travel,’ so storytellers in different lands may tell the same story, but it is told within the traditions of that culture.”
