The Grapevine Storytelling SeriesÂ
The Grapevine is spoken word performance for adults and teens, celebrating the timeless art of the story, hosted by storytellers Renée Brachfeld and Tim Livengood.
The Grapevine is home to the best in modern storytelling, which means all kinds of storytelling: truth, fiction, heroes, villains, myths, and legends, in solemn, humorous, and other styles. All the varieties of story that people have told each other for thousands of years; told really, really, well by people who are at the top of their craft.Â
Our featured tellers this month are the entrancing Milbre Burch and Elizabeth McCain!
Milbre Burch is a storyteller in every sense of the word. She has been featured at festivals across America, in Europe, and Asia, and is an accidental archivist of the American storytelling revival. Milbre is a GRAMMY-nominated recording artist, a nationally known touring and teaching artist, a published writer and produced playwright. She is committed to telling stories to build community and to address social justice issues. Learn more
