Steve Sanfield

 

Bob Jenkins

 

Dovie Thomason

Considered one of the country’s foremost Jewish storytellers, he is equally renowned for his versions of African-American folktales. Creator of the Sierra Storytelling Festival, author, poet and master teller, Steve graces our stage to celebrate 25 years of the Queen of Festivals.
  He has been a short story author, scene painter, actor, director, playwright, vocalist, guitarist, percussionist, dancer, sound and lighting designer, essayist, blogger, and storyteller. For our Festival, Bob is a beloved presence and dynamic performer.   Award-winning recording artist Dovie Thomason bridges disparate worlds: urban Chicago and rural Texas, her Kiowa Apache and Lakota elders and university classrooms. This has set her on a path to listen, learn and share the stories—to give people a clearer understanding of the often misunderstood, often invisible, cultures of the First Nations.

   

Diane Ferlatte

 

Gay Ducey

 

Charlie Chin

Diane wowed audiences when she first attended the Sierra stage, and this raconteuse hasn’t stopped entrancing everyone else. She has the uncanny knack of speaking personally to each audience member, so that every tale is custom made
for you.

  A storyteller, educator and writer, Gay Ducey likes contradictions: A city girl who enjoys country roads; a witty wordsmith who speaks the plain truth; a teller with a preacher’s passion and an eavesdropper’s ear. A longtime favorite of the Festival, we bring her back to help tell the tale.   He is a writer, musician, historian, and storyteller. A senior student of the late master storyteller, Leong Chi Ming of Toisan, China, his repertoire draws on the Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian classics as well as the oral folk tradition of China.
 
   
 

Jackson Gillman

 

With his background in dance, comedy and mime, it’s anyone’s guess who and what Jackson will be bringing to the Schoolhouse this time. Whatever the repertoire, you can be assured that it will be sparkling with energy, wit
and warmth.

 
   
 

Susan Klein

 

Born, raised, and still residing on Martha’s Vineyard, Susan Klein is an award-winning spoken-word artist. As an editor, workshop leader and master of the festival stage, she knows how to cut to the chase and bring us to the heart of the tale.
