Happy New Year! I know that’s like soooo one week ago, but since this is my first post of 2016, I think I’m still allowed to say that.
Speaking of firsts, we have our first storytelling workshops starting next week and our first storytelling show in just a few weeks, so make sure to check your calendar and make the necessary arrangements.
But first – again with the firsts! – a look back at the last show of 2015. It was a good year for storytelling and we went out on a high note. Now, as is traditional, I am posting photos from the show first (Man – that word!) and then the videos will follow. Problem is, I was at home having contractions the night of the last show – which fortunately led to a baby a few hours later – so I can’t actually describe what you’re seeing in these photos since I haven’t watched the videos yet! However, I can imagine that what you are looking at is a series of photos of awesome storytellers telling their finest final story of 2015 at an amazing storytelling show at The Auld Shebeen in Fairfax, VA. Truly, that is not even stretching my imagination.
Special thanks to photographer Russ Munson. You may recognize his name as the husband of one of our storytellers OR you might know him by his pen name Wilden Turk! Check out his book here.
Enjoy this look back and then look forward to watching the videos soon. I know I do!
Host Kathy Baird Westfall was joined by storytellers Mattie Cohan,Sandra Hull, Alison Hughes, Liezel Munson, Jack Scheer, Anna Marie Trester, and first time storyteller Ellie Klein.
