The Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild presents its Tellabration 2022: Tellabrate, Storytelling Concert & Open Mic, on Thursday, November 17 @ 7 PM EST, an adults only, bring-your-own-beer-or-wine celebration of storytelling and community, at Godfrey Daniels, 7 East Fourth Street, Bethlehem, PA,. Reservations recommended. This program is free and open to the adult public, a meet and greet of sorts with plenty of entertainment, and a pass-the-hat endeavor.

According to Denise McCormack, one of the guild’s organizers and a bonafide storyteller,

This is the guild’s way of re-entering the world and inviting other local and regional talent, friends, and neighbors, to join us for a really great time in a really great place.

And, while we anticipate that many of our extraordinary tellers will take the stage, including Larry Sceurman, Karen Maurer, Ingrid Bohn, Christopher Ochs, and others, we also want to see area balladeers, song writers, guitar-pullers, poets, and spoken word artists share their stuff with us.
