SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: April Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:April Armstrong is an award-winning actress\, singer\, and storyteller who weaves melodies and words into her multi-cultural folktales and historic accounts.

Cake\, ice cream — and a calling she’s followed ever since. She has performed at numerous festivals\, theaters\, and schools nationwide\, including the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem.  Armstrong is the recipient of the National Storytellers Network’s 2020 J.J. Reneaux Emerging Artist and the 2015 Bronx BRIO awards for Storytelling\, and her debut CD\, The Cat Came Back: Stories and Songs with a Jazzy Twist\, won a Parents Choice Silver Award. \nWebsite: www.aprilarmstrong.com
