Twentieth Annual Weber State University Storytelling Festwal 2016 Welcome! “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in this world,” author Philip Pullman once said. Mr Pullman is onto something. Through telling and listening to stories, we share and gain new, vital perspectives. Storytellers have rightfully held honored places in our communities for millennia. The Jerry & Vickie Moyes College of Education and the Department of Teacher Education are keeping this tradition alive by presenting the 20th Annual Storytelling Festival, where more than 40 renowned storytellers will spin yarns that entertain and enlighten. Those storytellers, and the many who have come before them, have created an outstanding legacy of educating children through their tales. Organizers estimate that more than a quarter-million children have participated in the festival since its beginning. Charles A. Wight, President Weber State University Weber State University warmly welcomes all our storytellers and thanks them for sharing their art with our campus and community. We also welcome our audience members, who know a good story when they hear it. 13 ay WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY | Charles A.

A virtuosa on Washboard, Angela's performances are a whimsical braid of poetry, story and song played on Autoharp, Tenor Guitar, Spoon and Bell. The stories are selected from a variety of sources including traditional world folktales, the oral tradition, original works based on personal experience and the best in children’s literature, i.e. (Carl Sandburg’s Rootabaga Stories, the poetry of A. A. Milne, Naomi Shihab Nye). The songs are drawn from her childhood, contemporary singer/songwriters, folk songs, along with her original musical compositions based on the poetry of e.e. cummings, A. A. Milne, and Pablo Neruda.
