SUMMARY:Jonesborough: Storytelling Live!
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling Live Launch Celebrates 20 Seasons \n(Jonesborough\, Tenn.) — Spring is storytelling season in Tennessee’s oldest town. Storytelling Live\,\nthe International Storytelling Center’s visionary performer-in-residence program\, brings a new teller\nto Jonesborough each week for daily matinee concerts and other service-based performances in the\nwider community. \nThe lineup for the program’s milestone 20 th season has been announced\, with storytellers offering\nregular performances at the Mary B. Martin Storytelling Hall in downtown Jonesborough through the\nend of October. The 26 artists represent a range of storytelling traditions\, music\, and more from\nacross the United States and all over the world. \nStorytelling Live was created to showcase the country’s best talent for residents and regional tourists\nwho want to get a taste of one of Appalachia’s oldest folk arts. Inspired by the seasonal calendars in\nadjacent performing arts like opera and ballet—or sports seasons\, if you prefer—the six-month\nstorytelling season gives people the chance to hear a wide variety of voices in an intimate setting. The\nunique format allows performers room to experiment and innovate as they spend the week getting\nto know the storytelling capital of the world. \nThe 2023 season will begin with an entertainer who has become one of the National Storytelling\nFestival’s most popular voices\, South Carolina storyteller Tim Lowry. A high-energy performer who’s\ninspired by show business and his love for humor\, history\, and holidays\, Lowry will take to the stage\nfor daily matinees Tuesday to Saturday\, May 2 – 6\, at 2 p.m. \nA number of evening concerts are sprinkled throughout the season\, including a Father’s Day concert\nby Bill Harley\, Western music and cowboy poetry from Brigid Reedy\, personal stories from Donald\nDavis\, Regi Carpenter\, and Peter Chand; and a stunning Middle Eastern folk tale from Chirine El\nAnsary. \nIn addition to live concerts\, one virtual performance will be offered each week. This state-of-the-art\noption works well for people who aren’t available to travel\, as well as anyone who prefers to watch\nfrom home. \n“We want to make it as easy as possible for people to drop in for a show\,” says Susan O’Connor\, ISC’s\ndirector of programs. “Accessibility is one of ISC’s core values\, so we’ve worked hard to design an\nonline experience that is simple to set up and delightful to watch.” \nIn-person tickets for matinee concerts are $14 each for most adults\, with discounts for seniors\,\nmilitary\, students\, and children under 18; all tickets are just $7 on Saturdays. Reservations are\nrecommended (but not required)\, as many performances sell out in advance. During their weeklong\nresidencies\, most storytellers craft a completely different performance each day to accommodate\naudiences who wish to attend more than once. \nAll in-person performances will be staged in ISC’s on-site theater\, which can accommodate up to 95\nlisteners. The price of virtual admission is just $15 per household\, allowing people to share the\nperformance with anyone in their home from Friday at 2 p.m. until Monday at midnight. A limited\nnumber of season passes are available for just $175\, almost 50 percent less than the price of regular\nadmission. \nThe premier sponsor of Storytelling Live is Ballad Health. Additional program funding comes from the\nNational Endowment for the Arts\, the Tennessee Arts Commission\, Niswonger Foundation\, East\nTennessee Foundation\, ETSU\, Carol & Bobby Frist\, the Norris Family Fund\, Eastman Credit Union\,\nBank of Tennessee\, and Trail Head Lodge. Media sponsors include the Herald & Tribune\, Kingsport\nTimes-News\, Johnson City Press\, News Channel 11\, WJHL 11\, ABC Tri-Cities and Daytime Tri-Cities.\nThe International Storytelling Center is open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, Monday through Saturday. For more\ninformation about Storytelling Live\, including the full schedule\, or to purchase tickets and season\npasses\, visit www.storytellingcenter.net or call (800) 952-8392.
