This year’s Stone Soup Storytelling Festival had all sorts of different flavors to its cauldron of culture from an eclectic batch of storytellers using a wide array of styles to spin their tales to the inaugural cycling and running events.
The event kicked off at noon on Friday, April 29 with the senior luncheon at First Presbyterian Church with Ellouise Schoettler as the featured teller. Schoettler is a North Carolina native and 20-year pro teller who is an old-time southern teller relaying stories she heard on her grandmother’s front porch in Charlotte.
From 3 - 4 p.m. was a roundtable discussion at the Woodruff Community Center where storytellers amateur and professional alike discussed the future of storytelling and how to utilize modern social media and marketing to maintain the oral tradition’s cultural viability.
