Whether surrounded by folks on haybales at a festival, kids on carpet samples in the library, college students at a keynote, or families in the cushioned seats of San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre, Mary Grace Ketner brings listeners an elegant gift of story. Stirred by passion and a deep love of tale-tellling, Mary Grace stirs long silent traditional oral narrative back to life. Experience whimsy, wit, insight, “ROFL” and universal human values with a Texas drawl, all spun into a fantasy before your very eyes. As one listener commented, “I believe that we opened ourselves up to create a magic space.”Selected for inclusion in both the Texas Commission on the Arts Touring Artist Roster and the Mid-America Arts Alliance since 2008, you can find her at schools, libraries, festivals and civic events all around Texas. Busy writer, producer, and teaching artist, her Storytelling World Gold Award-winning CD Ghostly Gals and Spirited Women has now been joined by 1001 Years of 1001 Nights” (www.jazzartstore.com). "I wish you could hear the comments that keep buzzing around here,” said one conference producer; “Mary Grace is a born storyteller.” "Her telling at the Fredericksburg event yesterday brought the grace and eloquence we’ve come to expect from her and provided the needed dimension of folk and literary tales that are the foundations of our art form."--Donna Ingham, Texas Tale Teller "Mary Grace Ketner’s presentation is the perfect way to introduce students to Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Her knowledge of Chaucer’s language, style, and stories is invaluable and makes students want to know more."--Amy Maytum, English IV & Humanities Teacher, La Vernia (Texas) High School "That story was so good it made me see a movie!”--Dillon, age 10, Orange Grove Elementary “It was such a joy working with you on this artistic endeavor. This performance ranks among my favorite of all the First Friday Concerts!”
