Rick Carson's Page

Rick brings a unique blend of dramatic skills and traditional concepts to the art of storytelling. Each character in his stories breathes a life of its own due to Rick’s ability to blend movement, timing, and a variety of voices.

Rick will tell stories at the drop of a hat and his hat has hit the floor in a variety of places. During the last 25 years, Rick has told stories at libraries, schools, parks, club meetings, churches, parties and storytelling festivals to people of all ages. He enjoys introducing school children to the art of storytelling through residencies as well as teaching storytelling to adults through workshops and continuing education classes. Rick was honored to be chosen to tell as part of a Regional Concert at the 1997 National Storytelling Conference. In September of 2006, Rick was one of the regional tellers at the Southern Ohio Storytelling Festival in Chillicothe, Ohio and in April, 2007, he told at the Northern Kentucky Storytelling Festival held at the Kenton County Public Library in Erlanger, Kentucky.

Rick is a member of the National Storytelling Network, OOPS (Ohio Order for the Preservation of Storytelling), and a charter member of the Miami Valley Storytellers. He has recorded two recordings of his stories, one for children and one for adults and young adults.
