Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild
Our new site is www.lvstorytellers.org.
This site will terminate Oct 26th 2009.
Our members are professional and amateur storytellers, poets, actors, and others who benefit by the study of the art of storytelling and whose pleasure it is to practice this ancient art. Both experienced storytellers and newcomers are welcomed.

The Guild was started in 1998 to promote the art of storytelling in the Lehigh Valley, and to refine the member's storytelling skills. We have presented numerous showcases, appeared at festivals, conducted story swaps and workshops. We meet at Godfrey Daniels Coffee House on the second Wednesday of each month except August (See you at Musikfest).
