Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
Invite Fox to put together a performance that is custom tailored to fit your needs. Every program is specifically designed for each audience in accordance with interests, age, grade level, and background. Most programs include songs, poetry, audience participation, and a variety of humorous, adventurous, and touching stories. Shows can vary in length from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the setting. With a repertoire of more than 400 stories that draw from an array of cultures and themes, plus an eagerness to learn more, Fox makes every effort to design each presentation to meet the needs of each individual host.

Funding should never be an issue! Fox is on both the Illinois ArtsTour and Arts in Education rosters, so funding assistance is available through the Illinois Arts Council. Audubon, Darwin and Lincoln Tales have been chosen by the Illinois Humanities Council Roads Scholar Program and they will pay for any public performance in the state of Illinois! Schools can apply for funding through their PTA or PTO, or corporate partners. Smaller school districts can partner with neighboring districts to share travel expenses and fees. Book and CD sales can be used to raise funds. Community organizations can offset costs with ticket sales and by selling ads in the program. If funding is an issue please Contact Fox to discuss possibilities.
"All the adults and children were RAVING about your stories and they couldn't wait to share them with their friends and family."
