ASC Mission 

To affirm our various cultures, nourish the development of emerging and established artists, and promote excellence in the oral traditions. 


History

Ten story lovers came together in August 1995 for the organizational meeting of what would come to be known far and wide as the Asheville Storytelling Circle.  ASC tellers perform at dozens of festivals ranging from local to national, as well as for schools, libraries, Elderhostels, conferences, congregations and civic organizations.  ASC members come from diverse backgrounds: chemist, librarian, retired college president, puppeteer, housewife, radio personality, publicist, actor, comedian, and social worker. Some members come only to listen . . . others to hone their craft telling stories which run the gamut of topics, styles, and origins.
