Bay Area Storytelling Festival: The 28th Annual Bay Area Storytelling Festival is scheduled for May 17-18, 2014, at the Craneway Pavillion on the Richmond Shoreline. This year’s Festival features Reverend Robert B. Jones, Sr. who will demonstrate how much traditional American songs and stories can teach us about ourselves. Storytelling humorist Ed Stivender has been called “the Robin Williams of storytelling.” Award-winning storyteller Motoko captivates audiences as she exquisitely blends ancient Japanese lore and original tales with traditional music and eloquent physical characterization.
