It's Time To Discover The Best Voices
In Storytelling That You Haven't Yet Heard.
For January 26, 2008, we have chosen Tim Ereneta as our featured concert storyteller and workshop leader.

Tim's former jobs include camp counselor, bus driver, and a singing dinosaur for the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley.
"Droll, funny and original" --The Fresno Bee
"Tim is a contemporary, hip storyteller... original and authentic. His style is gracefully conversational with an ironic sensibility
that gives his work depth and yet doesn't rob it of a comic center. He is understated, wry, and
in every way a sophisticated an urban and urbane teller." --Gay Ducey, Artistic Director, Bay Area Storytelling Festival
"Audiences will have fun..." --Fresno Undercurrent
