Program Description

Event Details

Storybox Theatre is a wonderful way to present illustrated stories to youngsters.  Storybox is the American name we have given to the Japanese storytelling tradition called kamishibai.  (Kami = paper; shibai = theatre).  A storyteller stands behind a little wooden theatre and reveals a series of illustrations as he narrates a story, doing all the characters’ voices and the many sound effects.
