- **Event Name**: An Evening of Story with Laura Packer
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 09 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening of story with Laura Packer.

As the daughter of a children’s librarian and a writer, it seems inevitable that Laura Packer became a storyteller and writer herself, since her childhood was steeped in narrative. By second grade, she was telling stories to her classmates, creating her own magazines and writing letters to the editor of her hometown newspaper; her deep love of fairytales and mythology eventually led her to obtain a degree in Folklore and Mythology from Boston University; it was while pursuing her degree that she discovered storytelling, and that changed the direction of her life. She has taught, told, coached, and consulted around the world. 

Since then, Laura has built a career helping people and organizations find their own story, performing original and traditional tales around the world, and creating written narrative that draws the reader into new possibilities. 

Many of Laura’s stories have their roots in fairy tales and myths, though they sometimes roam far from those ancient grounds. She tells traditional stories, fractured fairy tales and myths, personal narrative, and original fiction that often strays into the fabulist. Laura believes her stories speak to the commonalities of human existence, and give voice to emotions and experiences we all have but can't always name.
