Gulf Coast Storytelling started out as a 'fun' project of Barry Little, the current president of Gulf Coast Storytelling.
Gulf Coast Storytelling is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
Gulf Coast Storytelling's mission is to promote storytelling and story-listening in all its forms and fashions by hosting events, helping tellers manage their careers and collecting stories of geographical and historical interest to the northern gulf coast area of the United States of America.
Gulf Coast Storytelling values storytelling as an art which preserves our national heritage, develops the imagination of the storyteller and audience simultaneously, and brings joy to people of all ages. We seek to promote storytelling by enhancing the skills of our members. In addition, we seek to increase knowlege about the art of storytelling and to increase community involvement in storytelling by telling stories in many different public venues area throughout the area.
If you are interested in storytelling as a teller, a volunteer, an organizer, a story crafter (one who can take facts and crafts a story from them), a writer, a story read-out-louder, please contact us and consider being a part of a worthwhile storytelling organization.
One way to learn more about what storytelling is all about is to attend our next meeting on August 12, 2009 in Daphne, Alabama.
