Miriam was super friendly and professional! She was able to adjust her storytelling content to meet the age of the audience nicely.
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!
Miriam was on time, thorough in her prep questions, and delivered on what she promised. Would definitely recommend.

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!

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."
In TX, she also performed theater with the Vortex Repertory, Austin Bike Zoo, and Chaotic Theater. 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.
