The 2010 season is about to begin!! This year's theme is "As the Story Goes".

The Guelph Guild of Storytellers, founded in the early 90's, promotes the oral tradition of storytelling. Members explore the telling of myths, legends, fables and personal stories

We meet Spring through December.

Evenings at the Boathouse: We tell the second Wednesday of the spring, summer and fall months, at 8pm. These performances are held at the Boathouse (Gordon Street at the Speed River bridge) and are open to the public. The monthly theme is optional and encourages experienced tellers to continue to expand their repertoires (and provides a good laugh as we try to fit the story we want to tell to the theme). See the Guidelines in sidebar for open mic time.

Upcoming Themes and Guest Tellers:

April 14: He who hesitates, with Donna McCaw

May 12: All that glitters, with Adwoa Badoe

June 9: The road less travelled, with Ann Estill

July 14: Out of the frying pan, with Derek Brisland

August 11: People in glass houses, guest TBA

September 8: A fool and his money, with Paul Conway

October 13: Spoiling the broth, guest TBA

November 10: A stitch in time, with Maryann Bailey (tentative)
