Photo of Lorraine Hartin-Gelardi, Storyteller Lorraine Hartin-Gelardi’s eclectic mix of folktales, literary tales, myths and tall tales enables her to tell stories to all manner of audiences, both young and old, in libraries, churches, retirement homes, schools, conferences and festivals.

She finds the experience of sharing stories through the spoken word to have a profound power to enlighten and educate and conducts storytelling workshops for adults and teachers. Through her school residency programs, she helps children to tell and write their own stories. Lorraine particularly enjoys combining art and story in unique hands-on workshops for children and adults. She lives in the Hudson Valley region of New York State.

What's New

Elementals: Exploring Nature Through Story
Students at Marlboro Intermediate School listened to an original retelling of a folktale called The Twelve Months. Using insights and ideas from story discussion, students made masks of elemental characters. Characters were developed through creative drama and could be used in a written or told tale.
