The storylady provides the entertainment
What?
Tales of myth and magic, heroic and historical, fairies, princesses, dragons and monsters—tales from far and near, old and new, to entertain and delight.
Who?
The StoryLady is Catherine Kentridge, a popular storyteller and performer with experience in England. South Africa, and Canada in choirs, operas, plays, and festivals. Catherine has an English Lit degree from Oxford, studied law, and works in publishing for newspapers, magazines, and on radio.
About 12 years ago, Catherine decided to combine what she loves best—telling stories, being with children, teaching, singing, dancing, acting, and her belief in the power of words to inspire. Voila! — The StoryLady was born.
How?
Working with your theme or creating from beginning to end, The StoryLady will transport you, your children, and your guests to a land of magic play, creativity, and learning.
When?
The kids at the party really liked your storytelling performance. At school they couldn’t stop talking about it, and they especially LOVED the CDs. You are a truly remarkable
storyteller and entertainer.

Why?
For kids' (and grownup) events, stories fire up the imagination to help celebrations and play (and learning!). The StoryLady brings you an experience to treasure as you interact with folktales and fairytales from around the world.
