What stories do you tell around a fire? Grab a spot around the fire pit in Morven’s historic Colonial Revival Garden for an evening of fall storytelling. Between spooky tales celebrating the Halloween season to stories of harvest, the Princeton Storytelling Circle will transport you to new worlds all from the cozy fireside. S’mores and hot cider included with your ticket.

This event is suitable for children ages six and up, and adults. Morven will provide some seating and extra blankets, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets, and to dress warmly. 

In the event of rain, we will move the program inside and offer a “candlelit” tales version of the event. 

The program is limited to 30 attendees so please act fast to reserve your ticket.

About the Storytellers

Luray Gross
Storyteller, published poet, and teaching artist Luray Gross grew up on a busy dairy farm just across the Delaware where she told her first stories to herself while perched in an apple tree. Over the last 30-some years she has worked with thousands of students and teachers, as well as in community settings. Sharing poetry and stories with others has become one of her essential joys.  Known for her energetic and sensitive teaching style, she believes that creative expression is vital to our lives.

Maria LoBiondo
Maria LoBiondo believes that a story is a heart-to-heart gift shared between teller and listener, connecting generations in the moment together. She began practicing the oral tradition of telling multicultural folk and fairy tales when expecting her second child; her daughter is now 31 years old. Her engaging style and lively expressions have delighted listeners in classrooms, libraries, religious settings, and festivals.

Kathryn Weidener
Kathryn has been telling tales all her life. Joining the profession of Storytellers has been an opportunity to read and retell great tales with a little embellishment of props and audience participation. She is the current president of New Jersey Storytelling Network and knows that events like this don’t happen without group cooperation. Happy to be present with a live audience!
