This is a storytelling festival, like any other. However, when women feel safe and heard, like we are in a space where our stories are given equal attention, the performances, and the stories themselves, are different. There is a hum of feminine power that runs through the festival even when the stories are about Jack, Coyote, Anansi, or that thing that happened that one time at work. We are are human. We are storytellers. We are women. Hear us tell.

The Women’s Storytelling Festival is intended for a mature audience.

Karin Amano, Lona Bartlett, Meghna Bhat, Lyn Ford, Neshama Franklin, Bonnie Gardner, Natalie Jones, Jenn Kamara, Nina Lesiga, Jezrie Marcano-Courtney, Jamie McElhatton, Jennifer Munro, Denise Page, Liz Pardue, Elisa Pearmain, Kristin Pedemonti, Regina Stoops, Liz Weir, Megan Wells, and Hope Wilder.
