Telling tales in Avondale Estates

A well-run storytelling festival can be a wonderful event, so all good wishes to The Atlanta Storytelling Festival, which makes its debut tonight and runs through Sunday in Avondale Estates. The festival will feature more than 30 area performers who will show how telling stories can be elevated to a performance art.

The weekend will be divided into six 90-minute programs for adults, with themes like Love, Generations and Crossing Boundaries, and four 45-minute programs for children. Among the tellers: Christy Foelsch, Barry Stewart Mann, Wayne Smith, Audrey Galex, and many more.

Performances are at the Academy Theater, 119 Center St., Avondale Estates, which is tucked behind the movie theater. Tickets are $15 per program, $75 for the whole shebang. Details from 404 297-0904 and at the festival’s website.

Meanwhile, up in Marietta…

The Food Network’s Alton Brown is coming to Cobb on Saturday to help the Cobb Library Foundation raise money. Brown’s latest book is”Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run,” about his motorcycle trip along the Mississippi River looking for great American road food. He’ll be at The Walker School, 700 Cobb Parkway, Marietta, talking and signing the book, but fire regulations won’t let him cook anything.

There’s a VIP reception at 11 a.m. ($125) and the regular appearance at 12:30 p.m. ($35). Tickets are nearly sold out, says the foundation’s Donna Espy. You can buy them online or call 770-528-2196.
