One of the unique aspects of the Weber State University Storytelling Festival is having student storytellers on the same stages as professional storytellers. This practice makes ours one of the premier storytelling festivals in the country. Hundreds of young people from kindergarten through high school have told stories at the WSU Storytelling Festival since it began in 1996. Many children who had their first on-stage successes here, followed up with speech and drama activities in middle and high school. Generally, student storytellers are good students and avid readers. Many search throughout the year for good material for the next Storytelling Festival. Children from throughout the area participatein a variety of storytelling activities in their schools prior to the Festival. From these, approximately 70 are selected to tell their stories at the Festival. They rehearse, tell their stories to other children at school, to residents in nursing homes, to friends and to any grandparent, aunt or uncle who will listen. Families develop storytelling traditions. Parents assist children in selecting, memorizing and rehearsing their stories for the Festival. Younger children want to be like their older brothers and sisters and tell stories to their stuffed animals and dolls. Families tell stories at family gatherings and in the car while they are traveling. Children remember and retell the stories they heard from the adults with whom they shared the stage. The Festival is indebted to teachers and media specialists who encourage the art of storytelling in their schools and to parents who support and assist their children in preparing for performance. Special thanks go to Monica Murdock, Davis District; Nancy Taylor, Morgan District; Paula Bosgieter and Shelley Ripplinger, Ogden District, Ellie Seely, Private Schools; and Shirley Atkinson and Sue Fisher, Weber District.

The type that went from place to place, gathered people in the square and transported them, inspired them, woke them up, shook their insides around so that they could resettle in a new pattern, a new way of being. It is a tradition that believes that the story speaks to the soul, not the ego... to the heart, not the head. In today’s world, we yearn so to “understand,” to conquer with our | mind, but it is not in the mind that a mythic story dwells. —Donna Jacobs Sife 10 ‘Storytelling Festival Special Events Preschool Events For children up to kindergarten age and their parents Monday, February 23, 10:30 to 11:10 a.m. Anneliese Konkol and Mary Halverson 11:20 a.m. to 12:00 noon | Phyllis Savage Elizabeth Stewart Treehouse Children’s Museum Tuesday, February 24, 10:30 to 11:10 a.m. Sherrie West David Eccles Conference Center - Room 201 Wednesday, February 25, 10:30 to 11:10 a.m. Shirley Huesgen Davis Conference Center - Twilight 1 Senior Citizen Event For everyone young at heart Wednesday, February 25, 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Angela Lloyd Davis Conference Center - Twilight 1& 2 School Outreach Events | TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25 1:15 p.m. - Laurie Allen 1:30 p.m. - Wes and Emily Whitby Roy High School, Weber District Ellison Park Elementary, Davis District 1:30 p.m. - Tim Tingle 1:30 p.m. - Cherie Davis Wasatch Elementary, Ogden District Ogden High School, Ogden District 1:30 p.m. - Diane Ferlatte 2:00 p.m. - Randel McGee Farmington Junior High, Davis District Marlon Hills Elementary, Weber District 2:00 p.m. - Angela Lloyd Morgan Elementary, Morgan District “A Baker's Dozen" For this special 13th Annual WSU Storytelling Festival all events, except the Storytellers’ Dinner, are Free of Charge.
