Wren’s Nest hosting virtual storytelling every Saturday

The Wren’s Nest in Atlanta has been closed to the public since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, but the museum is still dedicated to hosting their Saturday storytelling hour.

“We miss sharing the house with visitors every weekend and particularly miss our storytelling hour every Saturday at 1 p.m.,” reads the Facebook event. “Fortunately, The Wren’s Nest has found a temporarily solution and is now bringing storytelling to you with Virtual Storytelling!”

Now, you can experience storytelling at the Wren’s Nest via Facebook livestream every Saturday. The full schedule can be viewed here. Once the livestream has ended, the performance will be available on the Wren’s Nest’s Facebook page as well as their YouTube channel.

The Wren’s Nest has four affiliated storytellers who regularly perform at and on behalf of the museum, according to their website. For the virtual storytelling session, the Wren’s Nest will feature guest performers from Kuumba Storytellers of Georgia and the Southern Order of Storytellers.

While The Wren’s Nest is the historic home of Joel Chandler Harris, who compiled and published the Brer Rabbit tales, the museum is dedicated to promoting and preserving the art of storytelling in all its forms.
