Selected Quotes from Storytellers and Parents 2008
"International House-Davis is a fantastic place, exposing people to the diversity of our world through their programs. The Children's Storytelling program exposes the community to literacy and to our wonderful differences in a warm and cozy setting."
- Sandy Holman, Story-teller
"I am looking forward to the program and congratulate I House on the
wonderful work they do!"
"I just love telling at the I House and am so glad I am being included
again this year."
"I believe in the International House and love being part of what I
House has to offer the community."
- Vicki Crescitelli, Story-teller
"We've taken our six year old daughter to quite a few of the performances
over the last few years, and she always has a wonderful time. We enjoy the
shows too! The "passport" program adds a nice touch - she loves to get her
"passport" stamped at each event."
- Dave Nachmanoff, Singer/Songwriter/guitarist
"As a professional storyteller for over two years now (and as a chaplain, minister and public speaker for many more years before that), I have had varied experiences. My experience at the International House of Davis, as one of the storytellers for their Children's Storytelling Program was certainly one of my most memorable and best experiences.
The program was well organized, the publicity was well executed, and the staff there were very supportive and helpful. They created a great atmosphere for storytelling--both for the teller and for the audience of children and their parents. They clearly stated their purpose and expectations and gave me good feedback all along the process. Communication was clear, always available and helpful.
I could tell from the program and publicity for other tellers, as well my being included, that the program was diverse and represented many different nationalities and cultures.
The children and the adults all seemed to have a good time--as did I! I would be honored and privileged to return and participate in such a program again. It was a real pleasure."
-Rabbi Steve Vale, Story-teller
