New Year's Eve Storytelling
Good news. I got my COVID PCR test result back (yes, earlier than they’d said) and it was negative!
I have a few other things to write about, but, for the moment, let’s have some shameless self-promotion!
Namely, I am part of a huge storytelling blow-out for New Year’s Eve as part of Voices in the Glen. We’re up from 4:00-5:00 pm EST. I’m the fourth of the 5 tellers in that session and will be telling an original fairy tale.
STORY BLOWOUT 2021-2022 will begin on Friday, Dec. 31 at 11 am EST and end at 1 am EST on January 1. The program is FREE, however registration is required:

This year Artists Standing Strong Together (ASST, pronounced “assist”, www.artistsstandingstrongtogether.net) is hosting this day of story and community along with our partners: Voices-in-the-Glen & Virginia Storytelling Alliance (VASA). The day begins with stories perfect for all ages. There are 2 very special hours sponsored by our partners:
Virginia Storytelling Alliance (VASA) at 2 pm EST with Emcee Paul Armstrong and Featured Storytellers: Les Schaffer, Jane Dorfman, Leslie Oh and Victoria Phelps
Voices-in-the-Glen at 4 pm EST with Emcee Jennifer Hine and Featured Storytellers: Noa Baum, Tim Livengood, Miriam Nadel, Penelope Fleming
Feel free to come and go from the program as you’d like; consider this event like an audio/video podcast to accompany you all day. Throughout the day there will be ASST highlights of 2021, along with a honoring of those who left us in body this past year, but remain in our hearts and ears. Starting at 9 pm more adult-themed stories will be shared. Our night ends with dancing and celebration from 11:55 pm to 1 am EST.
Our storytellers are from across the nation beginning with Donna Washington (co-founder of ASST) at 11 am and ending at 11:30 pm with Anne Rutherford (ASST Board Member), and youth storytellers interspersed throughout the day. Many other storytellers will also regale us with stories from a variety of genres, including, but not limited to: Melissa Hobbs (CA), Carol Birch and Nina Lesiga (both from Connecticut), Andy Offutt Irwin and Gwendolyn Napier (both from Georgia), Nicolette Nordin Heavey (MA), Andrea Young (MD), Lona Bartlett (NC), Mike Agranoff (NJ), Chester Weems (OK), Juliana Person (OR), Oni Lasana (PA), Jess Wills (SC), Elizabeth Ellis and David Thompson (both from Texas), Bonnie Gardner & Jay Johnson (both from Virginia), Susy Irwin (WA), and Katy Daixon Wimer (WI).
