Patchwork Storytelling Guild presents Tellabration 2020, TESTAMENT: STORIES AS WITNESS, Saturday, November 21 @ 7 PM. Registration Required.
About this Event
Testament: Stories As Witness
A Celebration of Story
Patchwork Storytelling Guild will present its hallmark event: Tellabration 2020, TESTAMENT: Stories As Witness, a celebration of story, on the virtual stage and feature its own Patchwork storytellers.
Hosted by Denise McCormack, this eclectic and often poignant program will feature stories crafted for this storytelling showcase by Dr. Claire Ann Beetlestone, Ingrid Bohn, Ron Carter, Vernyce Dannells, Judy England-McCarthy, Judith Heineman, Jay Kuklinski , Judith Onesty, Les Schaffer, Edward Stivender, and Jon Sundell.
According to McCormack, storyteller and president of the guild,
"Whether the stories are truly true or not, they resonate with listeners because they express and embody our human values, the good and the bad, and provide a compelling lens for us through which to explore and challenge our beliefs and ideas. Stories are the purest evidence of who we are as a people, as a culture, as individuals. And it is incumbent upon each of us to weigh our merits against them and to fashion our paths using them as our guideposts.
This year's Tellabration gives credence to the very nature and inherent power of story."
This event is free for members, pay-what-you-wish for non-members, and open to the public. Please visit our website for more information.
This program is not recommended for very young children.

Jack Zipes will take us on a 6 week exploration of quite modern fairy tales, full of mean-spirited bullying, and angry, capricious persons. Each discussion will last approximately 1 hour. This journey is part of the (covid-inspired) Armchair Journeys series sponsored by Artful Journeys LLC. Sessions are on-line via Zoom.

In 1984, a study was conducted. Members of the public were given the phrase “Remember, only YOU…” and asked to finish the sentence. An astounding 95 percent were able to correctly add, “…can prevent forest fires.” The Smokey Bear story was the only story Pete Griffin had heard about the Forest Service before he joined in 1973.
SIO board member Pete Griffin will share some of his experiences that led him to understanding the power of, and the need for, stories in the world’s best land management agency, an organization in need of stories.

What better time than the end of the year to sit back and ask ourselves, “Now what?” At some point, we all find ourselves at a crossroads or an impasse with no directions to guide us, and everyone has a story about whether they found the answer from within or from without.
Whether you come with a story, or an ear to hear one, let’s chart a new course and the question begs to be answered. “Now what?”
