Story by Story: Tim Ereneta

Join PSPL for Story by Story, a monthly series for adults and teens, where storytellers from around the country share stories reflecting diverse cultures, beliefs, and experiences. Performances run 45-60 minutes, followed by an up-to 30 minute discussion opportunity. An American Sign Language interpreter will be provided for all events.

When storyteller Tim Ereneta opens a story with the words "once upon a time," he invites listeners into worlds that never were, but still resonate with our modern lives. The heroes and villains we encounter in blockbuster movies and streaming series might have stylish clothes and flashy gadgets, but these character types have been part of our entertainment for thousands of years. Join Tim as he shares his favorite traditional tales from Central Asia and Western Europe, bringing to life timeless adventures of clever fools and hopeless romantics in search of happily ever after.

Storyteller Tim Ereneta of Berkeley, California, connects ancient stories to modern day life, as he brings to life forgotten fairy tales for audiences of all ages—but especially adults. He's told stories on stages from Washington, DC, to Chennai, India, performing in theaters, art museums, camps, churches, nightclubs, as well as through digital screens. A former playwright and actor, Tim has been delighting audiences for more than three decades. Learn more at www.timereneta.info.
