An Epic Telling is an experience unique to the Network of Biblical Storytellers. Each year at our annual Festival Gathering, a team of storytellers will tell an entire book of the Bible in one sitting, just as it would have been heard in the ancient Middle East! This year's telling will feature thirty-five storytellers! The 2012 Epic performance is on Thursday, August 9 at 7p.m. and is open to the public.

The Epic Telling in 2012 consists of selected stories from the Apocrypha, the First Testament and the Second Testament . Storytelling slots will be available for bidding  on February 16, 2012 at noon EST (11a.m. CST).  DO NOT SUBMIT A BID PRIOR TO THIS DATE/TIME AS IT WILL BE DISREGARDED!

OUR ONLINE BID FORM WILL BE ACTIVE BEGINNING AT NOON EST ON Feb. 16, 2012. If you cannot submit your form via this website you may call 1-800-355-6627 and leave a message AFTER NOON EST 2/16/2012. Remember, you must have 3 choices (1st, 2nd, 3rd) when making your bid.
