CALLING ALL STORYTELLERS, POETS, AND REALLY GOOD LIARS Coming in October of 2023, Wimberley StoryFest will host another in its series of events celebrating ‘Story in all its Forms.’ The three-day festival, October 12-14, at Pioneer Town in Wimberley will focus on the hill country heritage: stories of settlers, cowboys, ranchers, cedar choppers, outlaws, and all those who tamed this part of Texas and made it their home.
The weekend line-up will feature singer-songwriters on Thursday, October 12; story as film on Friday, October 13; and a line-up of poets and storytellers in the oral tradition on Saturday, October 14. It’ll be a big weekend for story, made even bigger by the Solar Eclipse on Saturday.
We’re looking for storytellers and poets to share tall tales, legends, funny anecdotes, ghost stories, poems, family histories, and really good lies. Stories and poems should be no longer than 15 minutes. Some of the stories can be true!
Anyone interested in participating should complete the attached application form and submit it to WimberleyStoryFest@gmail.com
Our audiences are open-hearted and encouraging. The indoor performance space is small and welcoming. We are a community of story-lovers eager to promote the art of the oral tradition. This is an excellent opportunity for established as well as first-time storytellers to join us!
After a review of all applications, finalists will be invited to audition for a spot in the line-up. Auditions may be submitted digitally or completed in person at a location in Wimberley. Additional information about the audition will be provided to each finalist. Selected storytellers and poets will tell their story or poem twice on Saturday afternoon and will receive a $100 honorarium.
