Miriam is amazing!!!

For over a month, I worked with Miriam to prepare for a night of spine-tingling and spooky tales for a California State University Student-Housing and Residential Life Halloween celebration. We have a wide range of age groups living on our campus housing, including students with families and students fresh out of High School. Miriam expertly catered to them all. At our event, everyone was thrilled with Miriam's performance as she put on a profoundly engaging show. She was in full costume, and her performance included very creative visual effects. She was professional, curious, and willing to work/consider any special requests. I would highly recommend hiring Miriam to perform at your event, and I would not hesitate to hire her again!!! Thank you, Miriam:)

Stop looking and hire Miriam!

In this new COVID-19 world we need to be creative in how we gather. I had a bit of a different concept: a storyteller on a kids zoom meeting so the adults could have a parents meeting on another zoom meeting. This was new territory for both of us and Miriam had great suggestions for how to make the event even better. Miriam is a gifted performer and the kids were engaged and it was awesome.

So happy I hired Miriam!

Miriam was hired to entertain the families at this event I was asked to arrange last minute. She was absolutely fantastic. She was on time, polite, and an awesome and clear communicator throughout the entire process.

Our group was initially going to include children in which Miriam was hired to entertain, however, the fires and power outages affected those with children and they didn’t arrive.

Miriam didn’t bat an eye, she adjusted her content for adults and gave a wonderful performance.

Thank you Miriam!

Perfect for my daughter’s birthday!

My daughter really wanted a storyteller for her 9th Birthday party, and I’m so glad we found Miriam! She’s an extremely talented storyteller and captivated the whole group of fifteen kids. She was also easy to work with and very thoughtful and accommodating about customizing her selection of stories for this particular party. She’d be a great addition to any party!

About

Miriam began storytelling in college as part of a Medieval and Renaissance recreation society. Within the society, her storytelling skill earned her the honor of being made a Companion of the Troubadour and appointed the Baronial Bard. After an apprenticeship with Boston area storyteller Alex Newman, she began performing for schools, libraries, bookstores, cafes, fairs, festivals, and parties.

An interest in theatrical storytelling inspired her to develop a 25-minute personal narrative story based on her quest to find the tomb of al-Mu'tamid, the 11th century poet-king of Seville, in Aghmat, Morocco. She performed the piece, "Touring al-Mu'tamid," at FronteraFest in Austin, TX and followed it several years later with "A Life for Love and Pleasure: Remembering Mata Hari." She has also created two theatrical shows that blended storytelling with circus arts: "Zoo of Mythical Creatures," which was performed at a series of street festivals in Fremont, and "Once Upon a Cabaret," which was performed at Dragon Theatre.

She also performed theater with the Vortex Repertory, Austin Bike Zoo, Chaotic Theater, and as a haunt actor with the Winchester Mystery House. She received the 2006 Austin Circle of Theatre's award for Best Ensemble Performance for her work as a Fury.

She received her MA in Folklore from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
