19th Annual KC Storytelling Celebration

kcstorytelling.mcckc.edu

Metropolitan Community College-Kansas City has been sponsoring the Kansas City Storytelling Celebration since 1999, and with the help of the River and Prairie Storyweavers, the event has grown from a small group of local tellers to a city wide event. The original goal of fostering healthy dialogue about diversity and community involvement has grown to include a wider number of individuals each year and has impacted nearly 300,000 area children and adults to date.

The event has continued to grow in size, scope and imagination, connecting the diverse neighborhoods on both sides of the river throughout the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Each year the Celebration is both creative and innovative. The tellers share stories of personal, ethnic and family traditions. Our tellers encourage audience participation through open and spontaneous communication. As audiences become engaged with the tellers, dialogues are developed, allowing the tellers to tailor the story to each audience. Each performance is unique with tellers creatively responding to audience feedback
