History
Throughout the ages, stories have been passed by tellers to their families, and traveled with them from village to village, country to country, and across the world. Storytellers collect, create, and share tales which help those who listen to see their own world in different ways, and to journey into new lands and other times. The Story Circle of the Capital District of New York State was established in 1983 to: 1. provide an opportunity for members to tell stories before live audiences; 2. provide an opportunity to hear stories told; 3. provide the community with a roster of active storytellers; 4. bring the art of storytelling to the public eye and ear; and 5. encourage beginning storytellers.
Specialties
We tell stories -- personal stories, folktales, legends, historical narratives, fairy tales, all kinds of stories -- to adult and family audiences. Our shows typically involve a number of storytellers, each telling one or more story related to the program's theme. Established in 1983, we are the Resident Storytelling Company at Proctors.
