The months of the year keep coming, and so do the storytelling shows! June is here (technically, almost here, but you get the point). In a recent storytelling event with Sean Wellington the conversation was on the subject of negatives and positives of quarantine. There is no shortage of negatives. One of the unexpected positives is that people are connecting to others on a global level unlike before.

While I normally only cover the DC, MD, and VA area, with all shows being online now, I have broaden my scope of storytelling so you can broaden your scope of story listening. With that in mind, do take a look at the blog Artist Standing Strong Together (ASST) ( https://artistsstandingstrong.blogspot.com/p/upcoming-storytelling-events.html?m=1) as well as The National Storyteller Network (NSN) (https://storynet.org/calendar/?cid=my-calendar&month=5&yr=2020) as both of them have story shows that I may not have listed myself.

This month I am host and helping to direct my very first storytelling show on 10 July – Black Stories Matter. The link is below.

One final note, I have links to shows and the days they will happen, but the info about time, tickets, and other info you are going to have to click on the links, or check out their website or Facebook page. Pay particular attention to the time zone, as these shows are coming from all over the US, and in some cases the world. Happy storylistening!

Over a range of dates

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
