Summer is upon us, and then we move.

Yes, the Guild may have a different venue for the fall. We'll let you know as soon as it's finalized.

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 are hosting two series this summer.

Tea and Tales is at the Enabling Gardens on Friday mornings all summer.  Storytelling with the Guild on the second Wednesday of each month. The Guild meets monthly to help tellers polish their stories.

Storytelling with the Guild

We tell the second Wednesday of the spring, summer and fall months, at 8pm. Summer 2010 performances are held at the Boathouse (Gordon Street at the Speed River bridge).

Fall venue is to be announced.

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:
July 14: Out of the frying pan, with Derek Brisland
August 11: People in glass houses, with Sya VanGeest
September 8: A fool and his money, with Paul Conway
October 13: Spoiling the broth, with Brad Woods
November 10: A stitch in time, with Vince Wall
December 8, A spoonful of sugar, with James Gordon
