Bio
Mary grew up on a Kentucky farm where telling stories was considered more of a moral failing than a potential career. For years, she confessed her sin and tried to stop. Fortunately she failed. Since 1983, Mary has earned her living telling stories...creating worlds.
When Mary takes the stage, the show unfolds in the hearts and minds of the audience. In her straightforward, <just talking< style, Mary uses her voice and body to tell stories. Her audiences watch, listen, imagine and create worlds.
Young children enjoy chanting and singing along as Mary tells them stories brimming with fun joining in opportunities. Family audiences laugh together, sigh together, and exchange knowing glances as Mary entertains them with a variety of tales. Students learn while they listen in school programs. Adults enjoy a refreshing, entertaining break from the everyday world when Mary tells them stories ranging from surprisingly adult fairy tales to original fiction to the intriguing truth.
