The Ark's 39th Annual Storytelling Festival

Four master storytellers take the stage for the 39th year of this beloved Ann Arbor tradition. It's the cozy, listening-room setting The Ark is famous for, but with spoken word instead of strings: pure stories, well told, in a room that actually rewards paying attention.
