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.

ABOUT OUR TELLERS:

Don White brings laughter and tears as a storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter. There is no one-word description for what Don White does. His work is infused by experience as a husband, a father, a seeker, and a joker. He draws inspiration from his family, in a touching song about the circle of life or an uproarious story about dealing with his daughter. Don White is an odd fit in any medium: funny, sarcastic, sentimental. More about Don

Candace Wolf is a master storyteller and oral historian. She is the barefoot storyteller due to her fearless determination to travel all roads, to all destinations, to expand her treasury of myth and oral history Candace has deployed storytelling skills to contribute to social well-being, emotional health, and cultural enrichment of youth and seniors, urban and rural. She was a long-time performing and teaching artist with the Kennedy Center.
