Ralph Chadis, Not Your Typical Bard, has been storytelling for grownups since 1985. He has been a regular in the New England scene all that time, and is well respected. He has performed at such venues as The Three Apples Festival, Club Passim, and the New England Folk Festival.

His stories re-awaken in adults those feelings of youth when, with our jammies stained with ice cream, we begged to be filled with stories. His Jewish storytelling is taken from the Midrashic tradition of trying to make sense our tradition.
