Visit ISC's Little Free Library

The only thing better than the International Storytelling Center? A historically accurate miniature version. We're in love with the Little Free Library that a local furniture maker crafted to match our building. Read about the painstaking process of how it was made before you grab a free book to take home.

June Concerts at ISC

Storytelling Live, ISC's artist-in-residence program, is well underway! We have four hugely gifted tellers visiting us this month.

Ray Christian, June 4-8

Anne Shimojima, June 11-15

Noa Baum, June 18-22

Don White, June 25-29

Regular showtimes are at 2 p.m. Learn more about these performers on ISC's website.

Exclusive Evening Concerts

We're offering not one, but TWO, nighttime concerts in June. The first is an evening of stories with Ray Christian. Ray is an award-winning academic, a farmer, and a military veteran who has personal stories that will surprise and delight. Don't miss the opportunity to hear him in person.

Later in the month, ISC is excited to offer an evening program with storyteller Don White, a widely loved humorist and a musician. Don has shared the bill with legendary stars like Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, and Lyle Lovett. We're delighted to have him back!

Reservations are recommended, but not required.
