Mission Statement

As a child, Marjorie Shaefer learned the art of storytelling from her tall-tale Texan grandfather.  She carries on the teaching and storytelling tradition she learned by leading workshops and retreats, performing at festivals and participating in community, church and school events.  Marjorie tells favorite familiar stories, such as Aesop's Fables and Mother Goose stories and rhymes, and authors her own historical stories to share.

Benefits

As an experienced teacher of  children and adults,  I believe that storytelling is entertaining and a path to learning. I try to captivate the audience and bring them along on an unforgettable adventure.
