Mariposa, Calif. (Jan. 28, 2015) – Are you ready for the cozy, old-fashioned comfort of hearing a real-live story told by the finest storytellers in our nation?  From National Public Radio contributors to award-winning authors, our storytellers recreate the craft of famed storytellers like Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor and Will Rogers. The Mariposa County Arts Council's 28th Mariposa Storytelling Festival, occurring from March 13-15, 2015, has two evening events, more performances throughout the day on Saturday, a special Yosemite Concert on Sunday and magical adventures for every story fan.
     
Producer/Director Marilyn Rudzik has invited master storytellers Beth Horner, Tim Lowry, Michael Parent, Antonio Rocha, Anne Rutherford and Sarah Saulter to Mariposa for the Festival.  Listeners of all ages will discover that even in this fast world of technology, the memorizing voices of storytellers continues to be something we all need. On the second weekend of March, stories from a wealth of cultures, traditions and styles will once again fill our small, historic Gold Rush town.
 
Admission prices range from $4 to a two-day special package price of $64 for Arts Council members. Seniors and students will receive 10 percent off their total order. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
