Stories told by the Florida Storytelling Troupe

The beautiful lawn of the Ximenez Fatio House will be the setting for stories told by members of the Florida Storytelling Troupe: Kathy Kniery, Rose van Der Berg, Kathy Duffy, Margaret Kaler, and David Fussell on Saturday, May 4 at 11 am.

Rose van der Berg is a dynamic storyteller and teaching artist who uplifts, amuses, and inspires all ages. Her stories explore the heart and humor of the human condition.

Kathy Kniery is a multi-talented storyteller who is spending her retirement years in two areas of interest: storytelling and storytelling technology. As a folklorist, her catalog of stories includes historical figures, devils and demons, and feel-good characters.

Margaret Kaler has told stories about St. Augustine’s history since she worked in the Spanish Colonial Quarter in the late ’70s. She brings the past to life in her stories.

Kathy Duffy is a retired librarian who has found a new life through her interests in storytelling and medieval reenactments. Her storytelling repertoire ranges from lighthearted tales to grim and scary stories suitable for all audiences. She is an accomplished teller at festivals around the country.

David Fussell is a committed storyteller and humorist. From a deep love of his own Florida pioneer past, David spins yarns with wit, wisdom, humor, laughter, and sometimes a sweet tear or two. He tells the tales that make history come alive.
