The Turin Library
is very excited to announce the return of the award-winning Storycrafters! Join us at the Turin Library on Friday,
October 13th at 6:30 for wonderful fall stories for people of all ages
with “Apple, Corn & Pumpkin Leaves” with Barry Marshall and Jeri Burns.
Depending on the ages of the audience, they will also add some “scary
tales” as well! They have been working together as The Storycrafters
since 1991 and are the 2018 recipients of the National Storytelling
Network's "Circle of Excellence" Award. The Storycrafters
have produced twelve award-winning CD recordings and their 2018 book,
"Storytwisting", published by Parkhurst
Brothers Publishers, was the winner of the 2019 'Storytelling World' Award.
They perform and teach their art form in schools, libraries, and other
venues all over the US and internationally in the Caribbean and the British
Isles. They have been featured performers at storytelling and folk
festivals nationally and internationally.
Jeri and Barry believe in the time-tested wisdom of traditional stories, and share that wisdom with today’s audiences.
They strive to honor world cultures by telling the old stories in
respectful ways, often integrating the musical instruments, songs or dances
indigenous to that region. Then of course, look out for their original
modern renditions of the oldest stories … some of their most requested
material.
The Storycrafters have been recognized nationally and
internationally, including:
• National Storytelling Network "Circle of Excellence" Award
• Cayman National Cultural Foundation Gold Medal for Creativity in the Arts
• Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award
• Parents Choice Award
• Storytelling World Award
