Worcester Storytellers is back!

That's right, Worcester Storytellers is back from the... hrm... grave is probably not the right word (we aren't a zombie) so let's just use from the "void". 

This series was originally founded and hosted by the wonderful and vibrant David Macpherson.  A couple of years ago, Dave retired from hosting and thus the Worcester Storytellers curtain closed.  Recently, I (New Host: Kristina England) approached Dave about bringing back the reading.  I missed getting my fix of local fiction and non-fiction writers.  We have plenty of poetry series in Worcester (for which I am very thankful) but sometimes I want something more than just poetry.

Of course, the first dilemma for a series is to find the actual venue.  I approached Annie's Book Stop in June and about a week ago, received the greenlight for the venue (many thanks to Annie's!).  It wouldn't seem proper if I launched the reading without having Dave involved in some way, so without further ado, mark your calendars for the rebirth of Worcester Storytellers:

Worcester Storytellers
Friday, September 28th
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Annie's Book Stop
65 James Street, Worcester, MA
 
SEPTEMBER FEATURE: 
DAVID MACPHERSON

The reading starts with an Open Mic so "bring your short stories, poetry and charming tales to share" (stolen from an old Poets' Asylum ad... speaking of which, check out the "Other Venues" tab for all the great local poetry venues other than Worcester Storytellers).

More information about the series and upcoming features can be found via the tabs at the top of this website.

Your host,

Kristina England
