Storytelling Live: Elizabeth Ellis
International Storytelling Center 100 W. Main Street, Jonesborough, TN, United StatesDesignated an American Masterpiece Touring Artist by the NEA, Elizabeth Ellis grew up in the Appalachian Mountains hearing stories from her grandfather, a mountain minister. The “Divine Miss E” is a versatile and riveting teller of Appalachian and Texas tales and stories of heroic American women, though her personal stories are arguably her best. An award-winning author, she is a recipient of the John Henry Faulk award from the Tejas Storytelling Association, and the NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence and Lifetime Achievement awards. It was a breathtaking performance to witness. Elizabeth was so layered and magical and real. Her timing impeccable, her delivery effortless, her impact extraordinary. – Ann Arbor Observer
