Storytelling is a critical part of the placemaking work that we do in Main Street districts. But are we sharing every story equally? Kiran Singh Sirah, President of @StoryConnect explores important questions about storytelling in our communities: bit.ly/3sv8XVS

I loved creating this solo show for one of my favorite festivals! While being sad to not be able to do it live in those amazing tents in Jonesborough, I was happy to do it in my bedroom for a non-responsive camera. Wait, that sounds a bit bawdy...like my show! (Adults only!)
We're trying something new at the National Storytelling Festival this year: AFTER HOURS. Join humorist and storyteller Antonio Sacre for this incredible one-man show, streaming Friday, October 2, at 10 p.m. We have all the details for you at storytellingcenter.net/festi…
