Get ready to laugh out loud, play with language, and enjoy some great stories! Join Donna Washington as she shares an array of entertaining stories drawn from her repertoire of traditional African American folktales, classic fables, and humorous Jack tales. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear these iconic stories presented by a master storyteller.
Washington is an internationally known, multi-award-winning storyteller, spoken-word recording artist, and author. A highly animated performer, she has been entertaining, educating, and inspiring audiences for over 30 years with her vocal pyrotechnics, elastic face, and deep characterizations that bring folklore, literary tales, and personal narratives to life.
Following the storytelling session, Washington will sign copies of her children’s books, including her newest release Prak Fills the House, a retelling of the classic “Three Little Pigs” story. Complimentary copies of Prak Fills the House will be given away to 10 families in attendance at the program.
This program is made possible with support from the Raleigh Fine Arts Society.
