Our members share a love of story, but a rich collection of different perspectives on how to best express that passion. Our interests range from sharing personal stories, to performing as a costumed historical reenactor, to telling with puppets, to bringing folk tales from other cultures to life. We are delighted by minstrelsy, tales for adults, children and teens, mime, and more.Our meetings are open to the public, and we welcome listeners as well as tellers.

Buttons for the Resistance and Other Love Stories
Provincetown Playhouse, NYC133 MacDougal StreetNew York, NY 10012(212) 998-5867
Regina Ress wears a red button affirming “CHOOSE LOVE” wherever she goes. It opens up a lot of conversations. As February is the month to celebrate love, Regina will share stories that explore some of its many forms, from romantic to unconditional, flirty to fierce, and perhaps a wee bit political. Joining Regina for this romp through the entanglements of love is jazz composer Michael Moss. As for her CHOOSE LOVE button, Regina muses, “If someone has a problem with that, they obviously have a problem.” reginaress.com, m2-theory.com[pdf-embedder url="https://storynet.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Feb-92020-e-flyer.pdf"]

Old-Fashioned Storytelling
The Rotunda4014 Walnut StreetPhiladelphia, PA 19104United States609-807-8238Old-Fashioned Storytelling to Chase the Winter Blues Away
The art of storytelling is alive and well and slated to chase away the winter blues on two very special evenings: Friday, February 28, and Saturday, February 29, at 7 PM, at The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, Admission is free; reservations are recommended. Light refreshments will be served.
Hosted by storyteller Denise McCormack, each evening will feature a special guest artist, along with other dedicated tellers, poised to showcase this favorite pastime and its rich allure as both an ancient and contemporary art form.
On Friday, February 28, internationally acclaimed storyteller Ed Stivender will regale all with his wit, charm, and stalwart stories, while on Saturday, February 29, Ingrid Bohn, a favorite regional teller, will delight with a lively fare of uniquely-spun traditional tales. Each performer is a member and supporter of the Patchwork Storytelling Guild in Philadelphia.
According to McCormack, "Stories are everything. They are powerful. They give meaning to life.
Even the composition of story, its elements, gives us a road map to live by. Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Vladimir Propp, and others have illuminated our role of hero in our own stories, but more than that, they have laid out our optional roles in the lives and stories of others.
Stories are our human marker. They enable us to experience empathy, to connect, to understand.... For this event, we want everyone to have fun."About Ed Stivender
