Oklahoma City Storytelling Festival
Sept. 6-8, 2012
This must-see fall festival celebrates the ancient art of storytelling. For 31 years, the Arts Council of Oklahoma City produced the WinterTales Storytelling Festival, which has delighted audiences with nationally-acclaimed storytellers, workshops and special performances. Named one of the best places to hear or tell a tale, WinterTales offered performances by some of the nation's best tellers. The Oklahoma City Storytelling Festival continues the tradition with two entertaining evening performances, a late-night session of ghost stories and professional workshops. The workshops can teach anyone to build better communication skills by exploring how to use a variety of words to get their meaning across. There are also kid-friendly events such as the family matinee and the Community Outreach Program, which provides free performances to at-risk youth.
