Event Details

Kamishibai brings international folk tales and other stories to life for people, from toddlers to teens and beyond. In this Japanese storybox style "street theater" storytelling tradition, a professional storyteller reveals a series of illustrations contained in a storybox as the narrative unfolds. Before TV & comic books existed in Japan, there was Kamishibai (kami = paper; shibai = th)eatre). With a wooden box, illustrations & a great narrator to tell the story, kiddos will be in for a treat!

This Kamishibai storytelling program is presented by Walter Ritter of Write Out Loud San Diego. The Mission of Write Out Loud is to inspire, challenge and entertain by reading literature aloud to audiences of all ages.
