Go Global

A wide variety of international folktales filled with laughter, tears, magic and music emphasize the connectedness of us all. Richly interlaced with cultural details that reflect the daily lives of the original tellers, these highly interactive stories draw children into an experience that enriches the imagination, expands the vocabulary and teaches empathy and understanding.

Happenin' Holidays

Not your usual holiday fare! These stories are inspired by traditional folktales, but each has received a Winter Holiday makeover that turns it into an interactive celebration of multiple intelligences! Add a song here, a chant there, lots of kinesthetic fun and a bit of imagination -- and the magic happens! For school audiences, Sherry quickly introduces the original tale, then reveals to the audience the creative writing tricks that give a plain old story a holiday twist. (If requested, Sherry will lead the audience in creating their very own Holiday Tale!)

Spine Tinglers & Ticklers

A zesty program designed for the howling Halloween season giving kids a taste of haunting stories for the “stout of heart” or of highly interactive not-so-scary stories about “things that go bump in the night” for the younger set. Kids will shriek, scream and howl as multicultural Halloween folktales, literary stories and poems unfold, complete with eerie sounds and creepy images. Each performance is carefully tailored to age-appropriate cognitive and social needs. In addition, each presentation provides unlimited opportunities for students to build on previous learning relative to positive character traits such as courage, responsibility, respect for others and obedience.
