October 29, 2025Spooktacular Halloween Storytelling for Library Event!
Attendees enjoyed some spooktacular Halloween Storytelling from Miriam at the San Leandro Public Library's annual Halloween Family Fun Fest event. Miriam was able to provide great storytelling that was suited for a wide range of kids, ranging from babies to ages 14, and their families. It was a great addition to the event to help tie it back to the Library.

December 11, 2023Amazing storytelling, very attentive
Miriam came to my daughter’s 6th birthday party and brought it to life. There were kids of mixed ages and all of them listened attentively as Miriam was in her element. My daughter was over the moon about the stories Miriam told and even told me after the party that she wants to be a storyteller when she grows up.
Miriam was great to work with from an organizing perspective too. She called after the booking was made to understand the details of the event. She came prepared with recommendations that met our criteria. She even worked a new story into her routine.

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.
