The sixth Speak Story Series concert will feature Elizabeth Ellis of Dallas, Texas. Designated an American Masterpiece Touring Artist by the NEA, Elizabeth Ellis grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. A children’s librarian at Dallas Public Library before becoming a professional storyteller, the “Divine Miss E” is a versatile, riveting teller of Appalachian and Texas tales and stories of heroic American women, though her personal stories are arguably her best.

Invariably hilarious and poignant, she is a repeated favorite at the National Storytelling Festival. In 2013 the National Storytelling Network honored her with a Life Time Achievement Award. She has mesmerized nearly a million children in her thirty-five year career as a professional storyteller. Visit www.elizabethellis.com for more information.
