Have you heard the story about the boy who climbed a beanstalk? Yes, of course you have, but did you know that he trained first at a stalk-climbing club? How about the one in which two women make a bet that one can persuade her gullible husband he's dead? Or the story of a ghostly funeral train, silently devouring the rails between New York City and Albany, bearing a skeletal orchestra and the black-draped coffin of Abraham Lincoln?

The sixth annual award-winning Riverway Storytelling Festival, April 21-27, brings stories familiar and fresh, full of giggles and gasps, to audiences throughout the Capital Region of New York. Join us as we celebrate the power of words!
