What is Tellabration?
Tellabration! first began in 1988, produced by the late J.G. “Paw-Paw” Pinkerton and the Connecticut Storytelling Center. That first year there were six locations, but by 1990 it had expanded to a nationwide event under the umbrella of the National Storytelling Network. Tellabration! spread to a worldwide celebration by 1995. This is a weekend during which guilds, clusters, and story enthusiasts meet in spirit to share their voices in concerts around the globe. SOS has produced Tellabration! since 1990.
Tellabration! is, as J.G.Pinkerton once envisaged, like a night of a thousand stars — each star a story. Imagine thousands of listeners and tellers, worldwide, coming together in spirit, and approximately in “real time,” to celebrate the joy of story. Young, old and in-between, they gather in every imaginable venue: theatres, outdoor plazas, libraries, living rooms, community halls, colleges, museums, coffee houses, national parks, barns, historic sites, and even back yards all over the world.
