Bio: For Tammy Hall, stories hold ancient and proverbial wisdom, that stories travel far, even from generation to generation. A native of Clarksville, Tennessee, Tammy has called Brooklyn home for many years. She has performed venues in the Greater New York area including The Military Academy at West Point, The Apollo Theater, Symphony Space, The Brooklyn of Academy of Music, Macy’s, Rockefeller Plaza. She tells stories in libraries, schools, museums, cultural festivals and block parties, too!

Bio: The mission of Children at the Well is to increase capacity for intercultural understanding, build diverse community connections and grow compassionate leaders through the art of storytelling. In the Children at the Well program, young people from many different traditions learn the art of storytelling together. They explore the riches of their heritage and share them with each other. They choose or create stories to tell that they feel a deep connection to. As they become proficient storytellers, they’re given opportunities to present to audiences of all sizes.

Bio: "Stand-Up Chameleon" Jackson Gillman magically transforms himself into a wide array of eccentric characters through his many talents as mime, actor, songsmith and storyteller. As adept with children as he is with adults, his interactive performances are seasoned with skillful dialect, song, dance, mime and sign language. Shining through Jackson's wit and extraordinary versatility is his bemused, warm-hearted honesty. Jackson's humor evolves from finding that which is funny in human beings trying to be human and often tripping over their own being in the attempt.
