SUMMARY:Story Power: A Night Out of Supporting the Art of Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Storytelling Center on Thursday\, May 21\, for Story Power\, our season kickoff and spring fundraiser—an evening designed to celebrate the impact of storytelling and the community that sustains it. \nGather with fellow community leaders\, arts supporters\, and friends in Jonesborough for an intimate and inspiring night across two iconic venues: the Mary B. Martin Storytelling Hall and the Jackson Theatre. Through story and song\, we will explore how shared narratives can connect us\, shape us\, and spark meaningful change. \nThe evening begins with an exclusive VIP Reception at the Mary B. Martin Storytelling Hall. Patron ticket holders will enjoy a beautifully curated experience featuring elevated hors d’oeuvres\, premium beverages\, and a warm\, elegant atmosphere—an opportunity to connect with fellow supporters and celebrate the evening before the performance begins. \nWe then move to the Jackson Theatre\, where the program opens with the unmistakable voice of Bil Lepp\, the master of tall tales. A five-time champion of the West Virginia Liars Contest\, Bil blends humor\, heart\, and insight into stories that linger long after the laughter fades. \nThe evening continues with a live auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and getaways\, including a Hilton Head vacation package\, overnight stays at boutique hotels\, exclusive storytelling events\, and more. \nThe night concludes with the rich musical tradition of Nest of Singing Birds\, a collective carrying forward the ballad legacy of Madison County\, North Carolina. Led by Donna Ray Norton and rooted in the work of Sheila Kay Adams\, these artists preserve songs passed down through generations—stories carried “knee to knee and hand to hand.” \nMost importantly\, your participation directly supports the work you care about. Proceeds from Story Power sustain the International Storytelling Center’s live performances\, youth education programs\, community outreach\, and growing digital storytelling initiatives.

SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Mo Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Mo Reynolds travels the country creating connections through story. Reynolds often weaves folk and fairy tales with her own lived experiences\, unlocking new ways to see ourselves in both. Every story carries her distinct\, personal touch. Mo believes storytelling is a circular experience\, with the audience as part of the story\, even when she’s the only one speaking. \nMo will be collecting new stories as she travels through Central America for six months with her family. You can follow their adventures on her YouTube channel: The Traveling Teller. \n“Mo is hilarious–even out of character–and her story took an ancient piece of literature and made it shiny and hysterical. I think Mo might be my new favorite storyteller.” —Lisa Mitchison\, NUVO Cultural Foundation

SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Lipbone Redding
DESCRIPTION:Traveling the world\, making friends and music\, Lipbone is a one-man orchestra and award-winning collaborator\, who makes stories into songs\, and songs into birds. In his early days\, he left his home in North Carolina to live in New York City\, where he busked nightly for three years in Subways. Those early experiences have led to many adventures and accolades. He is currently an artist-in-residence at Oak Grove Retreat\, in Tarboro\, North Carolina. His style is groove-inspired\, unique\, and heartfelt\, paying tribute to influences from around the globe\, Lipbone is uncompromisingly true to his own voice and music. \nFrom New York’s subway to stages around the world\, Lipbone Redding’s music stretches like a string that’s never-ending… his approach dips into jazz and blues with a New Orleans touch\, swaths of Latin America tango with occasional dollops of Asian flair and American funk. Like an international rainbow\, Redding’s style reaches out to touch many a someone. —Herald Courier
