Storytelling has become a worldwide phenomenon. The Puget Sound’s newest annual festival, hosted at PowellsWood Garden on the upper edge of the Redondo greenbelt, is expanding this year to include a global-village emphasis.
Tamil storyteller Jeeva Raghunath, based in Chennai, India, will be headlining the PowellsWood Storytelling Festival, now in its second year.
The festival runs July 26 and 27 and features a day of workshops in addition to a full day of storytelling.
Now in its second year, the PowellsWood Storytelling Festival was inspired by PowellsWood owner Monte Powell’s annual visits to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tenn
Full-day passes for the Saturday storytelling sessions are $10 per person. Children’s and family rates are also available. Two-day passes priced at $120 also include Friday workshops with Donald Davis and Syd Lieberman.
