Each 45 minute program presents story theatre at its best.  Autumn Garick and Robin Schulte will arrive at your school one hour prior to showtime to create a world where adventure awaits.  They will set the stage with a large hand-painted backdrop, professionally created set pieces, and small props customized to enhance each program.  Shows for the younger groups feature more props, shorter stories, and interactive songs.  For older students Tales Two Tell relies on a more sophisticated use of the imagination.  The real magic unfolds as the stories begin.  Each program showcases tandem tales as well as solo performances by Autumn and Robin.
