Paul has been a featured teller at the National Storytelling Festival, an Off-Broadway Performer, and has won “Best of Show” in 18 Fringe Festivals across the country. There is a virtual option for the concert recording.
Paul will conduct an interactive workshop entitled “Reupholstering Folk Tales” in the afternoon, and then share stories in an evening concert with Tim Ereneta, Claire Hennessy, and Regina Stoops. Note: the workshop will take place in person only, and the concert will be in person and virtual.
IN PERSON ONLY WORKSHOP: “Reupholstering Folk Tales”
In this lively, hands-on workshop, storyteller Paul Strickland shares practical ways to honor the heart of old folk tales while giving them new rhythm, humor, and life. Learn to “reupholster” classic stories so modern audiences can sit more comfortably, laugh, and listen like it’s their first time hearing them. You’ll leave with fresh tools, a renewed story, and a roomful of ideas ready to tell.”
Tickets may be purchased for either the Workshop or Concert, or A Combo Ticket for both. Seating for the concert is general admission; however, a limited number of reserved tickets are available.
