Crooked Ways of the Ancient Greek Gods told by Barbara McBride-Smith

Crooked Ways of the Ancient Greek Gods told by Barbara McBride-Smith

Presented by Storytelling Arts of Indiana and Indiana Historical Society at Indiana History Center

Award-winning storyteller Barbara McBride-Smith breathes life – albeit a wizened Texan version – into the old Greek myths. With her incurable Texas drawl, she spins the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before, rendering them 99% more fun while retaining 100% of their original insights into the crooked ways of the human heart – and the no less crooked ways of the ancient Greek gods.

Barbara mcBride-Smith grew up in Waco, Texas, was educated in Boston, discovered the ways of the world on the New Jersey shore, and settled down in Oklahoma for three decades. Over those years she served more than 25,000 students as a school librarian and was named the Oklahoma School Librarian of the Year in 2007. Simultaneously she held the position of adjunct instructor at Phillips Theological Seminary, mentoring pastors in the art of storytelling for ministry. In the fall of 2014, Barbara made her way home to Texas, becoming once again a bona fide Texan living on Galveston Island.
