Linda is an animated performer who frequently uses song, dance, and audience participation.  Her stories travel to far-off countries, into your playful imagination, and touch the spirit.   Performances available for adults and children include a selection of stories that remind us that liars usually get fooled, music and dance can make your heart sing, and that true life can make you laugh and cry. She has performed fanciful folktales, original stories, and family memories in a variety of venues from schools, to parks, to libraries, to festivals.

Linda has extensive experience teaching high school students to how to tell stories.  Story workshops are available for adults and children as young as second grade.  Her Snippet Story workshop encourages participants to tell personal and family stories based on a photograph or family artifact.  Custom designed workshops available.
