FARMINGTON — Mt. Blue Community Access Television, together with Western Maine Storytelling, announce the premier of “Telling Tales: Western Maine’s Storyplace” on Mt. Blue TV. The half-hour programs feature outstanding storytellers from the area, state and region. Many types of stories are told, including historical, family, personal, fairy tales, folk tales, the poet as storyteller, and mime and storytelling.
Jo Radner recounts the artful (and often hilarious) strategies of Lovell’s legendary game warden. Mike Burns shares stories of his native Ireland. Phyllis Blackstone tells of her brother-in-law’s challenges while courting her sister. Antonio Rocha combines mime and storytelling, while poet laureate Wes McNair discusses and reads from his recent book of family stories, “The Unfastening.”
