WYO PLAY is searching for Sheridan storytellers

WYO PLAY has announced they are hosting the National Storytelling Network’s event TELLABRATION!™ for the first time ever in Sheridan. 

According to WYO PLAY, Sheridan will join groups in 40 different states and countries in an evening of storytelling on Saturday, Nov. 19. A worldwide event, TELLABRATION!™ brings together different and diverse stories in a mixture of personal, historical, folk and fairy tales, tall tales, myths/legends and cultural stories in order to highlight the storytellers special talents and styles. WYO PLAY is searching for local storytellers to join the lineup for this inaugural event. 

Storytellers need to prepare a story – with an approximate 10-minute time limit – in a style of their choosing, attend an initial gathering to meet other storytellers and producers near the end of October. Another meeting will be held in November when storytellers will share their stories with each other. Potential storytellers must also be available for rehearsal and presentation of TELLABRATION ™ on evenings of Nov. 18 and 19, at the WYO Theater. 

If you are interested in being considered for selection as one of the storytellers, please reach out to WYO PLAY Lead Teaching Artist Grace Cannon-Wallace at gcannon@wyother.com or fill out this submission form, found here, before Oct. 10.
