Tellabration!

Local storytelling events are held in communities throughout the world by volunteers eager to build grassroots support for storytelling. This concerted effort is called "Tellabration!." Although the original scope of Tellabration! was intended for grown-up audiences listening to stories on the same evening, the event has evolved over the years. We encourage producers to tailor the event to suit the needs of the community, providing it falls within the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Producers:

The host or main organizer of a local storytelling event is typically called the producer. As producers for your community's Tellabration! you will be joining a network of storytelling enthusiasts. This guide has been developed as a result of their experiences and is intended to help you in planning and producing your event successfully.

A Bigger Effort:

Although anyone, anywhere, may host a storytelling event, the National Storytelling event hopes to brings storytellers and audiences together in a shared experience designed to enhance and encourage the art form and to attract local, statewide and national attention and support.
