Tellabration!™ – A Worldwide Celebration of the Art of Storytelling
It's Time for Tellabration!™ - an evening when storytellers across the world entertain audiences with exciting tales. In Portland, Oregon, The Portland Storytellers’ Guild will host Tellabration!™ for the local community, featuring 8 of Portland’s finest storytellers. The show will begin at 7:30PM on Saturday, November 9th at Artichoke Music, with tellers Will Hornyak, Barb Fankhauser, Rick Huddle, Juliana Person, Ken Iverson, Janice Alexander, Eric Foxman and Trish Anderson. Tellabration!™ is a trademarked program of the National Storytelling Network.

BIOS:
Janice Alexander
Janice Alexander, a retired schoolteacher, finds pleasure in creating with story and also with clay. She joined the Portland Storytellers Guild in 2015, shortly before retirement, and has been telling tales ever since. (Some based in fact, maybe, others probably not.)
Trish Anderson
Trish was born into a family of iron-faced dwarves of ineffable cuteness in a carnival outside Keokuk, Iowa. Although she soon surpassed them in both wit and stature, the lessons learned during those vagabond early years have stood her in good stead in her subsequent careers as a faro dealer, loan shark, and ultimately an influence peddler and “fixer” around Portland’s City Hall. She currently lives in retirement in the village of Muttley’s Addition.
Barb Fankhauser
From the time Barbara’s father introduced her to Goldilocks and the three bears stories grabbed her and never let her go. She began to telling stories the first time she got into trouble, leading her to a life in advertising copywriter where they
actually paid her to tell stories. When she found the Portland Storytellers Guild in 1989 she knew she’d found “her people”.
Eric Foxman
Eric Foxman has broadened his repertoire of stories since joining the Guild and becoming a part of a wider circle of storytellers who continually inspire him. He is delighted to be a part of this world-wide celebration of the art of storytelling.
Rick Huddle
This is what you get when you let a chemist marry a clown. Rick Huddle is known for his vulnerability, humor, physicality, and presence. His stories expose the tender, laughable and, at times, outrageous collision of inner psyche versus personal relationships. With a background in engineering, theater, improvisation, dance, and music, his work intrigues the mind and touches the heart. He enjoys relating his high-school foibles to adults as much as he likes singing songs about misunderstood midges to grade school students.
Will Hornyak
From Russian fairytales and Irish myths to Mexican folktales and Oregon tall tales, storyteller Will Hornyak weaves together a wide variety of oral traditions into spellbinding, thoughtful, well-crafted performances.
Ken Iverson
Ken is a founding member of the Portland Storytellers’ Guild and is nothing, if not astonished, to find himself still telling with the guild 40 years later. Life is a story, and Ken is loving how his is unfolding. Most of his telling these days is done in retirement settings where folks are eager to hear stories.
Juliana Person
No one was more surprised than Juliana Person herself when she made her storytelling debut by being selected from the audience to tell a 5-minute story during the intermission of a Portland Storytellers Guild show back in 2017. She was instantly hooked and has been eagerly seeking out storytelling opportunities ever since, largely favoring personal tales. Juliana lives in Newberg Oregon with her husband, their one human roommate, and two cat overlords.
