  • Storytelling Live: Tim Ereneta

    Storytelling Live: Tim Ereneta
    International Storytelling Center 100 W. Main Street, Jonesborough, TN, United States

    Storyteller Tim Ereneta connects ancient stories to modern-day life, as he shares classic and forgotten fairy tales with audiences of all ages—but especially adults. Trained as a playwright and actor, Ereneta is an award-winning storyteller based in Berkeley, California, who has performed on stages in schools, theaters, and festivals across the country.  Originally interested in sketch comedy, Tim found he could get as big a reaction from audiences from telling a Grimm’s fairy tale as he could from performing original comedy. “Ereneta’s methodical manner and quiet wit are a refreshing change of pace.” –The Washington Post Website: https://www.timereneta.info/
