Storytellers Macon: Live at The Grand Opera House

Sept. 26: Macon Magic

Your friends and neighbors speak their truth. For the past five years, Storytellers Macon has been asking people around Middle Georgia to tell their stories. The ritual has grown from front porches and bonfire tales to monthly open events at Grant’s Lounge, Amerson River Park, and now stART Up Studios. This limited series will bring the best stories back for a heightened presentation at The Grand, which will be recorded live for a new podcast series about the real-life souls in the city where soul lives.

Featured Storytellers for the evening are:

Artist/activist and radio host Tiara Ponce
Macon-Bibb County Commissioner Rabbi Larry Schlesinger
Southern culture writer and influencer Molly Wilkins
Owner of the best front porch in Macon and educator Mariana Furlin
Knight Foundation Emerging City Champion Weston Stroud
Urban planning and economic development expert Alex Morrison
Iconic downtown business owner Ed Grant
Legendary voice of Macon music Newton Collier

The heartbeat of Georgia’s best stories!

The Grand Opera House values the health of our visitors and staff and is implementing a safety plan which includes social distancing, temperature checks, reserved seating and requiring face coverings.

This program is supported in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly and with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Macon Arts Alliance Community Arts Programming and Projects (CAPP) is funded by Macon-Bibb County in order to advance the 2020 Cultural Master Plan for Macon, an important effort to bolster and increase arts programming and enhance the cultural vibrancy of our community.
