Saying “Yes, And” to Storytime
I did theater for a long time. Twenty-three musicals a long time.
So, when I started working in the youth services department, I didn’t think that storytimes wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.
I had experience singing, dancing, and storytelling in front of crowds of people, so why would 20-some children and their caregivers be any different?
But I was wrong.
What I quickly learned was, storytime isn’t theater, it's improv.
