Marketing and Media Billie became a storyteller when she discovered an audience for her original story poems about savvy, spunky, six-year-old Sal.
Already an experienced performance poet with credentials at several conventions and First Night/St. Petersburg programs, Billie quickly became a welcome addition at storytelling events and expanded her tales to include original stories in the style of old-fashioned myths and legends; traditional folk and fairy tales; healing and inspirational stories; humorous vignettes; and personal or “slice of life” stories.
She has performed at the South Broward and Pinellas County folk festivals, the Tampa/Hillsborough County Storytelling Festival, the Swapping Ground at the National Storytelling Festival, on stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, at coffeehouses, schools, libraries, and parks throughout Pinellas County, and on her community’s local cable channel.
Humor, enchantment, life lessons, and personal strength are important elements in her original tales, and guide her in selecting her traditional and adapted stories, too.
She’s happy to tell from her repertoire, or to develop/learn stories customized for your event.
