About We Tell Stories

This masterful group of theatre artists, founded in 1981 by children's theatre innovator Carl Weintraub, uses a unique blend of storytelling, audience participation, and sometimes original music to bring folklore, literature, and mythology from all cultures and eras to life. An old trunk filled with homemade props and costumes serves as the vehicle through which sets and characters are created, with ordinary objects transforming to support extraordinary stories. Humor and fantasy enthrall as stories of honesty, friendship, self-esteem and more enlighten all audiences. The professional artists who make up the company of We Tell Stories handle audiences of all age ranges with ease, and consistently deliver first-rate, mad-cap performances with joy and enthusiasm. Whether the viewer is young or simply young at heart, We Tell Stories is sure to capture, entertain and educate.
