In May of 2007, the informational and promotional blog, "Oklahoma Tellers" will cease. This blog began at a time when it was so very difficult to get serious promotion or information out concerning storytelling, storytelling events, or storytellers. There was then no regular and broad spectrum venue for storytelling news in the state of Oklahoma.
It also served to provide free promotion to working storytellers in the state from 2007-2010.
I recall one event in Norman being stashed in the "If You Have Nothing Else to Do" column of a weekly entertainment guide. Storytelling is one art form Oklahoma has yet to recognize or value.
A news source or bulletin board, however, can only be as good as the information provided to it. The input and collaboration from performers and venues is necessary Therefore, at the end of the month, December 2010, the blog will shut down after three years.
Thanks to the many thousands who stopped by to have a look, learn a little, and get connected to storytelling in Oklahoma.
Please visit the state organization website for the occasional pieces of news: Territory Tellers.
Still up and running providing free promotion and listings for performers of all types and locations is the Oklahoma Performers and Presenters.
