Storyteller Rachael Harrington smiles at the camera in a bright green shirt

Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a performance storyteller who playfully engages people of all ages in the *very serious business of imagination.
   
I do this by creating storytelling performances, workshops, and media that use​ narrative, audience participation, and a sprinkle of magic to  

bring folk & fairy tales to life.

Dr. Hunt, Principal

“Children and adults are memorized and engaged through Rachael's ability to tell stories with voices, action, and heart. While stories are generally told in English, Spanish is woven in when possible. Spanish speaking audiences are engaged because the words of the story become active and vivid. Story sharing is a strong part of the culture of Dos Puentes, primarily latino population. Rachael reinforces this by sharing stories that build from our curriculum and help to promote initiatives in our school. I highly recommend Rachael to any educational institution. Her enthusiasm is contagious and provides a medium not used enough to support STORIES for young and old.

Tomasz Kryzyzostaniak, Principal & ELL Educator

"Rachael's workshop is a must for any educator looking to bring magic into their classroom through the power of storytelling. Leading a school during and after a pandemic was extremely difficult especially when it came to finding the right professional development. Rachael's storytelling PD was so important as we transferred back into the school building. Her passion and expertise in the art of storytelling transformed the way our teachers engaged with students. We learned valuable techniques that made lessons and read alouds more captivating and effective."

"Rachael engages children through her charismatic and embodied storytelling. It was a delight to witness the children learn about folk tales and respond with enthusiasm."

Testimonial From Babies.

Inspire a passion for empathetic community and bold creative thinking.

You need dynamic, easy-to-implement arts programing that feeds hearts & minds...

...With storytelling, all that's needed is myself (no equipment or props/costumes), the listeners, and the MAGIC of words, imagination & stories.

  • literacy, pre-literacy, and language skills

  • deep listening + self regulation

  • confident communication

  • community

  • imagination + creativity
