    • Great job!

      We all enjoyed ourselves the children and adults. Great way to keep children entertained so adults can talk and enjoy themselves. Also learned something with the African folktale.

    • A joyful performance!

      I really loved everything about the storytelling from Mlanjeni! Not only did they bring adorable puppets, drumming and top tier acting, but it was truly accesible for our age group. I love how they reference common children literature and tales of West Africa, Anansi the Spider! Our students (3-6y/o) were giggling, cackling and dancing from joy. They were only scheduled for a short 15 min time, but generously went on a bit later than planned. Greatly recommend!

Hiring a storyteller is a great way to engage audiences of all ages at your next event. A storyteller will captivate the kiddos at a birthday party, school assembly, or family gathering. They can also create an immersive experience for adults with a live performance of poignant stories or workshops meant to help build public speaking skills.

The cost of hiring a professional storyteller in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania will vary depending on the length of the event, any special requests, and the complexity of the show. A storyteller may charge more to conduct a workshop than to perform a story from their existing repertoire. Contact the local storytellers above to get a quote customized for your special event.

While browsing Philadelphia storytellers, look through photos and watch videos to see what is included in their performances.
