In support of Indiana storytellers, Storytelling Arts of Indiana annually awards two financial fellowships for the development of new materials. The winners premiere these new stories each November.
Jennie Kiffmeyer will tell The Rivertown Dispatch, a series of interconnected stories set on the banks of the Ohio. Through her stories, we'll meet such residents as a single dad and his daughter who discover a Civil War tombstone, a young jazz singer trying to make a go of it at her family's winery, and a third-grade teacher who reaches out to a troubled former student - all ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. Sponsored by Ted Parkhurst.
Celestine Bloomfield has always been a fan of the folkorist and author Zora Neal Hurston, who is well known for her book Their Eyes Were Watching God.
