Annual Festival

Art and culture are two excellent teachers, particularly when brought to life by the professional storyteller.

It was Storytelling Time . . . !

The 12th Annual Pass it On Intergenerational Storytelling Festival took place Friday, October 27 and Saturday, October 28 at Zion Hill Baptist Church (250 Dr. Samuel McCree Way (directions) from 7–9PM. To bring the festival's wisdom to you, please call 234-7710. As always, the festival was free and open to the public.

It was more fun than you could imagine! Our participants learned history without even opening a book. They left with a better understanding of how the idea of freedom, held tight in every enslaved heart, passed from person to person, family to family, and on down through the passing generations despite tired souls and worried hearts. Pass it on!

More for Storytellers ...

Each year during our annual “Pass It On” festival, we offer storytellers ... from budding to blooming ... the opportunity to sharpen their skills in story and in career development. The first helps develop a signature story and the skills to tell it with confidence and crowd pleasing charisma, and the second helps storytellers take control of their career in story. To discuss how a program would help you, or simply learn more about story as education, please contact us by phone (585.234.7710) or e-mail.

Did you hear ...?

Did you hear the one about the eaglet that thought he was a chicken? He would have spent his life pecking on the ground, instead of soaring in the heavens, had it not been for his chance encounter with a wandering storyteller on his way to a Pass It On: Intergenerational Stories for Wisdom and Today festival. That storyteller’s captivating oratory of Haliaeetus leucocephalus’s legacy and aerial skill put that youngster in touch with his roots—and that set him free!
