Rona Leventhal will join December 3 Song & Story Swap

For over twenty years Rona Leventhal has gained a reputation as an exuberant and dynamic performer who brings a cornucopia of voices and characters in a fun, engaging and dramatic fashion. Her performances of multi-cultural tales and original stories weave together drama, movement, songs, and humor, and foster audience engagement and participation.

Rona has performed at the 2010 National Storytelling Conference, and does keynotes, workshops and graduate courses internationally. She produces and facilitates the Summer Storytelling Institute, a three day immersion into the art of storytelling, and is a coeditor of the storytelling resource book: Spinning Tales, Weaving Hope: Stories for Peace, Justice, and the Environment. Rona's CD, Raps, Rhythms and Rhymes: Stories that Tap, Rap, Shake and Sing! is scheduled for release this year.

Praise for Rona Leventhal: “Throughout the story I felt like I was watching a fully staged play with scenery and a cast. I was completely captivated by this speaker, a fact that I became conscious of only when her story ended so caught up was I in the performance.”
