Thelma,
audience member during a performance of "Winter Lights: Stories to Warm Your Heart"
Hi! I'm Rachael Harrington & I'm so glad you're here!
I'm a performance storyteller, writer & media maker who playfully engages people of all ages in
the very serious business of
imaginative thinking + living.
I do this by creating storytelling performances, workshops, and media that use
-
narrative
-
audience participation
-
and a sprinkle of magic to
bring folk and fairy tales to life.
