According to the National Storytelling Network, storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination. We are honored to have these professional storytellers who have worked with Colonial Williamsburg come to Salubria for this ‘spook-tacular’ event where they will tell stories which will fright and delight the young and old alike:
- Darci Tucker tells in schools across the country and shares festival stages with some of the best-known storytellers in the nation. Darci has told at the National Storytellers Conference and regularly appears in the “Stories That Make a Difference” benefit concert series.
- Gayle Turner has been telling stories since they were called lies. Appearing on stage for over 60 years, Gayle revels in sharing personal stories as well as tales from literature and history. He is the Executive Producer of The Storytellers Channel. Gayle currently has the honor of serving as President of the Virginia Storytelling Alliance.
- Sarah Brady is a storyteller, actress, and writer. Her experience in the arts started at an early age and continued throughout high school and college, where she earned a B.S. in speech education and an M.A. in interpretative speech. She taught communication, acting, and interpretative speech for six years at the college level. Sarah’s acting credits include such roles as Nurse Kelly in “Harvey,” Perdita in “A Winter’s Tale,” and Lady Macbeth in “Macbeth.net.”
