Past Projects: Once Upon A Time in Brooklyn

Once Upon A Time in Brooklyn: Traditional Storytellers and Their Tales was a series of public programs and workshops held in parks, libraries and community gardens all around the borough. Folk tales, fairy tales, ghost stories, tall tales, and the legends of the saints 'based on traditions from around the world' will be told in a chorus of voices reflecting the rich diversity of Brooklyn today.

Listen to Guyanese folk tales told under the full moon, enjoy a traditional uraga with Garifuna artists of Belize and Honduras, screen classic and contemporary fairy tale films, participate in a story swap, or turn out for The Great Brooklyn Storytelling Event at Brooklyn Public Library Central where diverse raconteurs will delight listeners with tales from Brooklyn's oral story book.

Once Upon A Time in Brooklyn is a celebration of story arts. Come catch a tale!
