28th Connecticut Storytelling Festival

This past weekend was the 28th Annual Connecticut Storytelling Festival in New London, Connecticut. It was one of the best in a long time. Jay O'Callahan was our headliner. If you have never seen Jay perform you are missing a true master of words. His stories are easy to follow and delightful to the ear and imaginations as he weaves the tale full of similes and metaphors.

Jay was not the only reason the festival was successful there were several extremely accomplished tellers. The weather was energizing and the performances and workshops were invigorating.

The Storytelling Festival takes place the last weekend in April every year, mark your calendars and plan on attending next year. Check out the website, www.connstorycenter.org for information, details for next year will be posted at the end of this year. In the meantime check out Jay O'Callahan's website and, if at all possible, go see him live.
