The Ark's 40th Annual Storytelling Festival
Storytellers Ingrid Nixon, Jeff Doyle and Steve Daut take the stage Saturday, February 27, at 8 p.m. at The Ark in Ann Arbor for the 40th annual storytelling festival. Expect funny tales, scary ones and tall stories; tickets are $35.
Every year this festival brings local and nationally known storytellers to The Ark's stage. This time you get three very different voices.
Ingrid Nixon comes from Alaska and has told stories around the world, including at the National Storytelling Festival. She's an award-winning teller of exploration tales, tall tales and personal stories, with a master's in Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. Jeff Doyle started out telling stories around the family campfire and joined the Ann Arbor Storytellers' Guild in 2005. He loves funny and scary stories, from mildly spooky to truly terrifying. Steve Daut grew up on the Mississippi River and is a Mark Twain fan. His book Telling Twain earned Honors from the Storytelling World Awards in 2020, and his shows mix humor, heart and maybe a little magic.
The $35 online or phone price includes the ticket processing fee. If you buy in person at The Ark during box office hours, there are no added fees.
