The Durham Storytellers are an enthusiastic group of volunteers that aims to keep oral storytelling alive, promote an awareness of storytelling and illustrate how stories fit in today’s society. They convey each story without books or notes, and are considered part of the performing arts.
Members are from all walks of life and at various stages in their storytelling journeys. They strive to inspire others to share and tell their own stories. The Durham Storytellers tell traditional folktales, fairy tales, myths, legends, literary tales, fables, ballads, recitations and poems.
This year’s theme is “Romantic Tales”
