Profile Information

About Me:
"Marilyn did a masterful job bringing stories to life." --Jerry, Teacher, OKC

Marilyn A. Hudson is a storyteller who has been traveling the twists and turns of the "Story Road" for nearly 20 years. She presents original tales, as well as historical and folklore tales, with her own little twists.

She involves youthful audiences in rowdy participation with fun tales, voices, theatrics, and play. "Marilyn places children under a spell as she shares storytelling rich with dialects and animation." --Dina, Norman Public Schools

She entrances audiences with tales, rich in the music of language and the diversity of human emotion. She shares stories of real people and mythic creatures - all the tales that provoke the imagination.

Over the years she has been a "Raider of Lost Tales" complete with whip and felt hat, a Civil War era woman struggling to make sense of the conflict, a booted, safari jacketed "Story Collector", Biblical characters, storybook characters, and "The Oklahoma Ghost Teller".
--------
Storyteller, educator, and author. I tell a broad variety of tales: childrens, ghosts, folklore, women's, and historical. I do workshops on beginning storytelling and on using storytelling to help preserve local history.

THE 'PARANORMAL LIBRARIAN"

Some persona's may never hit the stage but are useful in locating and developing stories to tell.

I manage a blog called the "Paranormal Librarian" - it features news, reviews, events, oddities, etc. related to the broad range of things paranormal. This includes ghost stories. I have started a sidebar list of "Ghost Tellers" - I will gladly list anyone on this so just send me your link! (paranormallibrarian@gmail.com).

The "P.L." may show up at some event - if I can devise a character free of negative librarian stereotypes....of course she may be a ghost herself....who knows??

Will be doing Ghost Tales for a Local Historic Site

I am looking forward to this! A well known landmark home is doing a fundraiser and will be offering storytelling and a candlelight tour for the season.

The lovely Overholser Mansion in OKC (http://www.overholsermansion.org/) will be the setting. It will start in the Carriage House and go through the house. Four story sessions over a two evening period.

THE RIPPLING BREEZE BETWEEN THE WORLDS

I love October...the crunchy leaves, the chilly nights...and the drama and imagination of Halloween. I was one of those little kids that lived in dress-up clothes, tripped around in her mothers heels and should have won an Oscar at some point in Kindergarten for my stellar performance of Little Red Riding Hood.

I am also an American Celt...no I have no real language and the major customs but there were a bunch of Celts in my family tree. Despite the lack of language and a loss of many customs..… Continue

GREEN LIGHT FOR DEVELOPING A STORYTELLING COURSE!

The administration has given a green light to develop a storytelling course to be offered to the community and that can also be taken (with additional activity and costs) as an elective by students.

I would love to hear recommendations for 'textbooks', great resources, online video samplings, and anything else.
