Performers are coming from across the nation, from California to Connecticut, Georgia to Ohio, and even from as far as Ireland, and represent some of the best-known storytellers working today. Among the festival performers are authors, content creators, stars of TV shows, podcasters, theatre performers, and contributors to Risk!, Stories from the Stage, the National Storytelling Festival, and the Moth storytelling shows. Audiences can expect a festival that not only showcases women storytellers, who are often underrepresented in other national festivals, but also features stories that center women's experiences.
