STORYTELLING AT STROUD, OKLAHOMA: A MONTHLY GUILD STARTING

 

WEBSITE: HTTPS://STROUDOKSTORYTELLING.BLOGSPOT.COM

Hello 2022!

I wonder how many of us have felt like a bug crawling out from beneath the rock they had been hiding under for the last 2+ years? As life moves toward normalcy- vaccinated and ready to feel human - things are looking up. 

The recent SPIRIT OF OKLAHOMA STORYTELLING FESTIVAL, via ZOOM, was engaging and educational despite the limitations of the online experience. It has allowed so many to discover and learn even with the realities of a pandemic life.

I joined the TERRITORY TELLERS, the statewide storytelling organization of Oklahoma, as a Board Member at large.  Sounds like there should be a reward involved, doesn't it?

I have also begun work on a local storytelling guild in Stroud, Oklahoma. Right on Route 66 the group is small but growing and meets the 4th Thursday of the month. The local Stroud UMC has kindly become our host and we use an room in the educational building. 

MARILYN A. HUDSON: Storyteller from Stroud Oklahoma

Since moving to Stroud I have been searching for my kicks, as the old song says, along Route 66!

on KUSH radio.

Enjoying learning new stories, visiting new places, even though in a mask one sometimes felt like every encounter should be preceded by "Stick Em Up, Pardner!"

Now looking into a somewhat normal Fall, I am looking forward to sharing some spooky stories, to sharing Scottish tales at a festival in Mid West City and so much more!

I am dusting off my box of stories, getting my stories in place, and look forward to sharing in local classes, libraries, and community centers over the coming months.

I have stories about "Oklahoma Bad Girls" - those gals who made the news in Gilded Age Oklahoma! I have stories of the Strange and Spooky (Ghosts, UFO's and so much more!), along with old legends, history, and myths.  

I can arrange stories that are age appropriate, entertaining, and even educational! As a retired public librarian and school library media specialist I have experience doing all three.

Contact me and let's schedule sometime in the region of Stroud - on Route 66! - Oklahoma!

STORYTELLER AND AUTHOR RELOCATES

 Author and storyteller Marilyn A. Hudson has relocated to the "Mother Road" and looks forward to getting her "KICKS ON ROUTE 66" in Stroud, Oklahoma. Email and Facebook contacts remain unchanged.  While everyone waits for life to normalize - she will be busy writing and publishing. Maybe an occasional "Zoom" interview along the way...
