About
Asheville
Storytelling
Circle (ASC)
Our storytellers, both amateur and professional, come from all walks of life – physicist, carpenter, teacher, librarian, entertainer, musician, environmentalist, homemaker to mention just a few. All are continually learning more about stories and about cultivating the traditional art of storytelling for adults, children, and youth. Stories may entertain, instruct, heal, or be just downright fun. Some tell original tales, some tell mountain stories and Jack Tales, other may tell stories from a different heritage: Jewish, Native American, Irish, or Scottish. Most tellers are eclectic, using stories from a variety of sources and for a variety of occasions. Profiles for our performing members are accessible in the Performer Directory.
Our monthly story circle meetings are filled with great stories. New members or guests are always welcome to attend and, tell a story. ASC also sponsors storytelling program each year at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway: TELLABRATION!™ in November and a Spring/Summer Show.
The Asheville Storytelling Circle is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
Retired teacher love to tell stories and hear them too. Published children books.
Hi Lea! I am the current president of the Asheville Storytelling Circle. In looking at our website, I’m not sure if anyone replied to you before this. If not, please accept my apology. We would love to have you come visit at our next meeting at 7 pm on July 17. You are also welcome to communicate with me directly at larryRpearlman42@gmail.com.
I am intersted in storytelling workshops.
Hi Debra,
My apologies if nobody replied to you back in April. You can go to the NC Storytelling Guild site to get information on an upcoming workshop later this month and other story-related information including a workshop coming up in the Spring. You can also go to story window.com to follow workshops put on by Connie Regan Blake. We would very much welcome you to come join the Asheville Storytelling Circle and come to our meetings the third Monday of each month to hear and tell stories and learn about other workshops as they come up.
I welcome you to communicate directly with me at larryRpearlman42@gmail.com as a more reliable way than leaving messages here. Thanks for your interest.
I knew a Larry pearlman in Miami but that’s another story. Looking forward to learning about your group and finding out about the storytelling world.
Hi Ken,
My apologies for the delay in reply. I’m afraid we don’t do a very good job of monitoring comments on our website. We’ll need to fix that.
I could be the Miami Larry Pearlman if you owe him money 🙂 We Pearlmans are originally from Brooklyn although my brother and sister now live in Florida (not Miami) and I am the black sheep that lives in NC. I’d be happy to discuss storytelling and the Asheville Storytelling Circle with you via email or phone.
