Storytelling shows are coming! No fooling! The number of shows locally (DC, MD, and VA) are starting to pick up again. But there are still plenty online as well. You will have a great selection to pick from all month long. Check back later for the 2 events I’ll be a part of this month!
NOTE: An update to this list will be out later today. Be sure to check back!
While I normally only cover the DC, MD, and VA area, with all shows being online now, I have broadened my scope of storytelling so you can broaden your scope of story listening. With that in mind, do take a look at the Virginia Storytelling Alliance (VASA) Website (https://virginiastorytellingalliance.org/events/) as well as The National Storyteller Network (NSN) (https://storynet.org/calendar/?cid=my-calendar&month=5&yr=2020), The Northeast Storytelling website (https://www.nestorytelling.org/calendar/), The Voices in the Glen Storytelling Guild (https://voicesintheglen.org/) and Chicago Storytelling
https://chicago-storytelling.com/events-at-a-glance as they have story shows that I may not have listed myself.
An important 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.
Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to check for events. Some events that happen multiple times in a week or month are listed at the bottom.
