2009/2010 season announced
Storytelling Arts of Indiana is pleased to announce that its 2009/2010 season will kick off with a new event—a Liar’s Contest to be held during the Indiana State Fair. Perennial crowd-pleaser Scary Stories also is part of the upcoming season, despite the not-for-profit organization’s decision to cancel its 22nd annual Hoosier Storytelling Festival because of cuts in public arts funding.
To mitigate the effects of the decision, SAI is adding popular components from the festival into the rest of its the season, including Scary Stories for Families, Scary Stories for Adults, two days of performances for schoolchildren and family performances featuring fan-favorites Bil Lepp, Bill Harley and Peter Cook.
