ABOUT OUR TELLERS:
Kevin Cordi has told stories in over forty states and several countries. He shares stories in an energetic, animated, and interactive style. Kevin’s award-winning story work has been commissioned by The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, American Library Association, National Storytelling Network, Newsweek, and the Qatar Foundation International. Kevin believes in the power of play to help people re-consider the story that they and others tell about themselves. More about Kevin
Liza Newell had a spectacular stage debut at the Grapevine, so we have asked her back. Liza grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Her love of storytelling is inspired by stories told around the dinner table and by the fireplace. Liza’s stories are shaped by her experiences of a small town childhood, of summers spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and of what it means to leave and find home again in different corners of the world.
