FESTIVALSert

She was truly a favorite at our 28th Mariposa Storytelling Festival. Artistic Director, Mariposa Storytelling Festival

​

Anne's rapport and presence shine on the main-stage and in auxiliary festival events. Her storytelling makes people laugh, inspires and invigorates her audiences. She involves people through song and action in performances she describes as "Introvert-safe and extrovert friendly!" Anne is a flexible, collaborative member of a Festival line-up.

What a delight you were at the Connecticut Storytelling Festival!  Your variety of stories was wonderful. Artistic Director, CT Storytelling Festival
