"Tellebration" Storytelling Festival at Governors State

Tellebration will be held in E Lounge, on GSU’s main campus.

GSU is one of 400 official venues hosting Tellebration on this day.  The event originated 19 years ago as a means of building grassroots community support for the age-old art of storytelling. Three storytellers will be at this event: 

Zane Chait is a member of both the National Storytelling Network and the Illinois Storytelling Inc. He has been sharing traditional tales and personal stories for many years. He is known for his multicultural tales of wisdom, foolishness, and trickery.
