Ed Stivender left his day job as a high school teacher
in 1977 to become a full-time storyteller. His path has
wound through schools, churches, coffeehouses, and
theatres, reaching onto the stages of the major
storytelling festivals of the world. He has been the
featured performer at the National Storytelling
Festival, the Cape Clear Island International
Storytelling Festival in Ireland, the Graz Festival in
Austria, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. He has
also appeared at the Walt Disney Staff Seminar, the Philadelphia Mummers Parade, and a number of universities. Ed has consulted with the Independence National Historic Park teaching the tellers how to tell the stories of our independence.
The National Storytelling Association inducted Ed into its Circle of Excellence in 1996.
