Sharing the Fire Conference, 2004

"Thoroughly enjoyable workshop, exceeded my expectations. So many workshops are dry, or without substance. This was fun and even pushed me to tell a story!"

Janice Nitual-Dalton
Storytelling With Ease Workshop

“I heard so many wonderful comments, but the one word I heard over and over was ‘mesmerizing.’ They want to know when you will return.”

Barbara Place,
Council on Aging Director, MA

“Karen catches the children and never lets them go.”

Karen Allen,

“You held the attention of some boys that I have been trying to reach all year. Bravo!”

Jill Stonehouse,

“You could see the mesmerized look on each child’s face, rapt attention! They could ‘see’ the story.”

Mrs. Cotter,

“My daughter never participates in anything; I can't believe she listened to all of the stories. I would have bet that she would have left."

Father,
PACE Head Start Program, MA

“You have no idea the miracle you have performed. My daughter was so shy in first grade she barely spoke a word. I can’t believe she is up there on stage, telling a story!”

Father of third grade student,
Freetown Elementary Storytelling Festival 2003, MA

"Your talent for bringing a story to life is remarkable; I enjoyed watching the children's faces light up throughout the story. Merci mille fois!"

Fran Hardy,

"Storyteller Karen Chace gently transports her audiences deep into fairytales and traditional folklore. Her gentle delivery, combined with mesmerizing language, makes her stories hard to resist. A storyteller with class and elegance, Karen makes her audiences believe the magic of stories."

Gregory Leifel, "The StoryBistro" Producer
Barrington Area Arts Council, Barrington, IL
 

"Karen was wonderfully engaging. As she spun her tales, I saw the youngsters in the audience transfixed on the compelling nuances of her phrasing. She really made our event work and she did it with a very upbeat attitude, grace and a smile."
