Author’s Night
Features Storytellers
The Friends of the Greenville Public Library's Author’s Night on Friday
February 27th will feature the delightful Jonatha & Harold Wright,
professional storytellers who specialize in Ohio, Appalachian and
Japanese stories. In addition to folk tales, fairy tales,
historical tales, myths and legends they have numerous personal stories.
They carry their audience through the full range of emotions with
sensitivity and taste, always leaving it with warm and comfortable
feelings. Sometimes poetry is added for variety or emphasis. The
Wrights have taught storytelling in many area colleges. They do
workshops all over the U.S. and in Kyoto Japan on storytelling
techniques and skills.
Professionally they belong to the state storytelling groups of Ohio,
Kentucky and Florida, the National Storytelling Network, and the Miami
Valley Storytellers. Harold has been a professor of Japanese at
Antioch College and Ohio State University, and is an award-winning
translator of Japanese poetry.
Doors open at 6:00 and the program is at 7:00 at Montage in downtown
Greenville with music by RJ Price and Bill Westfall. For more info see

“storytelling is sound literature!”
