Everything you need to know!
How is Story Theater different from storytelling?
Story Theater is dynamic and physical, with emotional intensity, providing a wonderful introduction to Theater.
Is every show really unique?
Yes! Each story is improvised, a gift to that audience, never to be repeated.
What ages are best?
Since Story Theater is improvised, we can adapt to all ages. the ideal age is 5-12 but we often do preschool shows! They are just sillier and shorter!
How many children can you accommodate?
Please note that children cannot be just left at Story Theater, supervision is required. Intimate settings are ideal, but larger groups can be easily accommodated!
Is there any special equipment you require?
For groups over 100, a microphone is needed.
Can you perform outdoors?
Absolutely!
What are the technical requirements?
Story Theater is different from many shows in that it is participatory, so the most important aspect is sound: The audience needs to be close enough and in an acoustically receptive environment (or well miked).
Do you have a backdrop?
Story Theater has a 9x12' freestanding backdrop.
How many stories are in a show?
Each show has a few short stories, and then one longer story created from a child's original title. For a total show of 30 minutes. Shows for smaller children are a little sillier and a little shorter. We can do 2-3 shows a day.
How do you come up with your stories?
An actor and a writer, Victoria is also a mom! Which means Victoria has read thousands of children's books, all with a critical eye. Adoring children's literature, Victoria prefers stories which defy cliche’s, empower children, and encourage kids to explore the world from varying perspectives.
What do you recommend after Story Theater?
Victoria is happy to visit with the children after the show for a meet and greet and photo ops!
What do children learn from Story Theater?
Story Theater aims to give children a simple way to approach theater and story; a model to embrace ideas and avoid stereotype; and a lesson that fun can be had with only an actor and an audience! Teachers and parents, ask for your complimentary study guide!
