Storytelling Concert: Elizabeth Ellis

Thu, Feb 2
7:30-9:00 pm
$10 donation

A rare West Coast appearance from a master storyteller.

"Invariably hilarious and fascinating" - Johnson City (Tennessee)
Press Chronicle

"One of America's finest storytellers." - School Library Journal

Born in Kentucky, Elizabeth Ellis and her stories are rich in the
tradition of Appalachia. After a 10 year stretch as a children's
librarian, she began a 25 year career as a professional storyteller,
recounting riveting Appalachian and Texan tales and stories of heroic
American women, though her personal stories for adults are arguably
her best. She's been compared to a cross between Molly Ivins,
Garrison Keillor, and Rita Mae Brown.

In a profession known for its tendency for sentimental and safe
stories, Elizabeth Ellis breaks the mold with her no-nonsense forays
into the dark, the dangerous, and the uncomfortable.

In 1997, Elizabeth received the circle of Excellence Award from the
National Storytelling Association given to individuals for setting
standards of excellence in the field of storytelling.
