Story performer Sally Perkins will share four short, delightful historical stories about two musical selections and an instrument we all know and love. The stories, carefully woven together with a beautiful, ancient Chinese folk tale, will illuminate the music but also provide great wisdom for our day and age. Sally will incorporate her background as a trained singer to enhance the telling of the stories.
Sally Perkins performs stories of all sorts – historical, wisdom, personal and ghoulish – to audiences of all ages. She has performed for the National Storytelling Network, the Indianapolis Spirit & Place Festival, Tennessee’s Haunting in the Hills Festival and the IndyFringe Festival. Her one-woman show Digging in Their Heels: An Energized Eye-Opening Story of Women's Battle for the Vote is taking her across the country, including New York City, where she performed off-Broadway at the 2019 United Solo Theatre Festival. She also works with professional clients needing to perfect their organizations' stories. Holding a Ph.D. from the University of Kansas, she has taught rhetoric and public speaking for over 30 years, currently at Butler University.
