Tellabration!™: Foundations — Stories That Made UsPatchwork Storytelling Guild celebrates story with Foundations —Stories that Made Us, the premier hallmark event of our season. This special showcase proudly joins the global tradition of Tellabration!™—a synchronized worldwide celebration honoring the timeless art of oral storytelling.
We ask: What are the many things that shape us and give us a place to stand? Together, our tellers explore family and childhood, memory and loss, land and tradition, dreams, identity, transformation, resilience, and the deep stories we carry forward.
Featured Storytellers, in alphabetical order, are: Michele Belluomini, Paul Best, Sanjukta Bhowmik, Ingrid Bohn, Carin Bonifacino, Denise McCormack, Mike Nessle, Sophia Pazos, Barbara Sherf, Ed Stivender, Christina Sturgis, and David Vanadia.
Hosted by Denise McCormack
Expect an eclectic afternoon of storytelling, with personal stories, traditional tales, a creation story, a fairy tale with a twist, music, laughter, reflection, and perhaps a surprise or two along the way.
—because foundations aren't always what we imagine.
