Adult Storytelling Programs and Workshops
“...with vivid imagery, a well-placed pause, and just the right dose of southern charm, Ellouise masterfully draws listeners into her delightful world.”
— Amy Saidman, Director, Speakeasy (Washington, DC)
Entertainment meets cultural preservation as Ellouise Schoettler shares her New Front Porch Experience in a variety of programs that blend:
Personal memory
Family stories
Folklore interpretation
While Ellouise delights audiences with her renditions of folktales and other traditional stories, her signature works are the original New Front Porch programs that blend personal memory, family history and primary source research in an entertaining format that leaves the audience awake to the value of their own personal and family stories.
From dusty attic letters to a first-hand account of Marching on Washington for the ERA, Ellouise's New Front Porch programs bring audiences to the front row of history as experienced by ordinary people during extraordinary times, and often include otherwise unpublished true stories.
Ellouise's varied programs can stand alone, but also work well with any of her adult/teen workshops that focus on finding, documenting and telling family stories.
Ellouise's New Front Porch history programs are perfect for adult, university and high school audiences.
