A beautiful write-up of this year’s Cincinnati Storytelling Festival! See you next year, y’all!

The Cincinnati Storytelling Festival is a weekend event featuring professional storytellers from a variety of backgrounds and traditions.

Paul Strickland and his partner Erika MacDonald star together in this new story and song holiday show!

The holidays have arrived in Big-Fib Trailer-Park Cul-de-sac and that means it’s time to gather at Ain’t True & Uncle False’s place! These two lovable tricksters share traditions no one’s quite sure ever existed, retelling holiday classics in wildly, misremembered, and reinterpreted ways that somehow still land right in the heart.

Only 4 performances at
Sunday, December 7 at 7:30pm
Tuesday, December 9 at 7:30pm
Saturday, December 13 at 2pm
Sunday, December 14 at 7:30pm
