The ETSU Department of Communication Studies and Storytelling will present the Master Storyteller Award and Performance on March 5 at the ETSU Martin Center for the Arts.

The department will honor Elizabeth Ellis with the Master Storyteller Award. The night will be a chance for the public to be entertained by a nationally recognized storyteller and celebrate her distinguished career.

Ellis’ work has been described as “invariably moving and amusing.” Raised in Appalachia in a family of storytellers, she has shared her tales with countless audiences in her 45-year career. A perennial favorite at the National Storytelling Festival, she has previously received the John Henry Faulk Award and the National Storytelling Network’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

General admission tickets are $15, and ETSU members and student tickets are $5.
