Woodstock Bookfest says Do Good!

The 2025 Woodstock Bookfest was such a thrilling weekend that I’m already planning next year! Our dates are March 26-29, 2026.

Check out the videos from this year’s Story Slam, which sold out the Woodstock Playhouse. It was a fantastic night and all the storytellers knocked it out of the park. Congrats to all of them.

And videos from some of our panels will be available here very soon.

In the meantime, I’m planning some great events—
On May 31, I’m producing a fabulous one woman show, starring Amy Oppenheimer. Amy is a self-described hippie, activist, lesbian, feminist, lawyer, judge, and LOOKING FOR JUSTICE (IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES) is about her search for identity and justice. (Two shows, May 31, Phoenicia Playhouse). Performances followed by a discussion moderated by award-winning journalist Carole Zimmer, host of the podcast “Now What?” Get tickets here.

And back by popular demand, our almost-summer Story Slam comes back to the historic Maverick Concert Hall on Friday the 13th of June. The theme is I’m Not Superstitious! We’re looking for some new storytellers. Just email me?

I’m ready for spring, send sunshine our way!
