Peggy Ray

Project Manager for St. Louis Storytell

STL Storytell is all about fostering community, building relational connection, and cultivating a sense of creativity via storytelling. Our storytellers share true-life experiences with the audience by means of a structured, live performance.

STL Storytell started out as a backyard housewarming party in the fall of 2015. Jennifer and her housemates were shocked by the overwhelmingly positive response from party-goers, but were content to move on to other things. The housemates never intended to do more than a single storytelling party but, as time went on, more and more people asked, "So, when's the next storytelling party?" It was clear that the event had tapped into something bigger than any one household, and thus a tradition of storytelling parties began.

In late 2017, after more than two years of parties and events, these gatherings finally found a name: St. Louis Storytell.
