Central Park New York Storytelling.

For anyone in the New York City area or for anyone who might find themselves there below is a link with a schedule of tellings that will be happening at the Hans Christian Andersen statue in Central Park. This series has been happening for several years now on Saturday mornings from 11-12. A professional teller shares tales of HC Andersen and other artists. The location is beautiful, outside and at the feet of the statue of a master storyteller. The stories are appropriate for anyone over 5. Best of all, its FREE!

Here is the link, check it out.

The 27th Annual Festival

Well, the 27th Annual Connecticut Storytelling Festival is over and the halls have gone quiet for the time being. Friday night of the Festival was a rip roaring good time with Jackson Gillman entertaining folks at the Mid-Nine Cabaret. Saturday was again filled with all kinds of stories, something for everyone. Sunday was a relaxing wrap up to a full weekend.

Next year Jay O'Callahan will be performing so mark your calendars now, the last week in April of 2009. See you then but in the meantime keep on telling.

Upcoming Events

I have been remiss in not reminding you about the upcoming Connecticut Storytelling Festival. It is held on the campus of Connecticut College in New London, you guessed it Connecticut. There are events all weekend long but you can come for one of any number of the events. Friday night April 25th is a concert for families and Saturday the 26th is a full day of performances and workshops for adults. Many of these award CEU's for teachers and librarians. Sunday the 27th is more laid back, an opportunity to get to meet the headliners for the weekend. Check out the full schedule at www.connstorycenter.org

Hope to see you there.
