Oklahoma City Storytelling Festival
September 11-12, 2009
StageCenter in Downtown Oklahoma City
This new, must-see fall festival celebrates the ancient art of storytelling. For 28 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 workshops can teach anyone to build better communication skills by exploring how to use a variety of words to get your meaning across.
In 2009, the festival was renamed and transitioned permanently to the fall, the week before the Oklahoma State Fair.
