SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Tim Ereneta
DESCRIPTION:Storyteller Tim Ereneta connects ancient stories to modern-day life\, as he shares classic and forgotten fairy tales with audiences of all ages—but especially adults. Trained as a playwright and actor\, Ereneta is an award-winning storyteller based in Berkeley\, California\, who has performed on stages in schools\, theaters\, and festivals across the country.  Originally interested in sketch comedy\, Tim found he could get as big a reaction from audiences from telling a Grimm’s fairy tale as he could from performing original comedy. “Ereneta’s methodical manner and quiet wit are a refreshing change of pace.” –The Washington Post \nWebsite: https://www.timereneta.info/

SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Daniel Morden
DESCRIPTION:Welsh storyteller and author Daniel Morden has been a professional storyteller for more than 30 years. He has traveled across the world\, from the Arctic to the Pacific to the Caribbean\, to tell and hear traditional stories. With an engaging manner\, Morden humorously and compassionately confronts serious existential questions. His appearances include the National Theatre and the British Museum\, and he has conceived and presented numerous documentaries on storytelling for BBC Radio Wales. “To experience  Daniel Morden in full flight is an amazing thing. He combines the skills of the troubadour\, the actor\, the bard\, the standup comedian\, and the preacher in the pulpit. One of the UK’s greatest storytellers.” — BBC Radio 3  \nVisit Daniel’s website.
