New Voices

New Voices celebrates the next generation of storytellers. Each year, we invite emerging artists to take the stage at the Stone Soup Storytelling Festival in Woodruff, South Carolina — sharing their voices, honing their craft, and joining a legacy that spans decades.

 

Through mentorship, performance opportunities, and professional development, New Voices helps storytellers grow in confidence, skill, and community ensuring that the timeless art of storytelling continues to thrive.

MUSE

Muse serves as the heart of Stone Soup Storytelling Institute — a welcoming space dedicated to creativity, connection, and community. Generously purchased to host storytelling events, workshops, and gatherings, Muse provides an inspiring setting for meetings, performances, and artistic expression. Alongside its role as a venue for spoken word and cultural exchange, Muse also features an art gallery that celebrates the diverse voices and visions of local and regional artists.

Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed STORYTELLERS can change the world; indeed, it’s what will!
