LoiS tells stories just for you
Lois Sprengnether Keel, (LoiS), is a Michigan storyteller, and has
a wide variety of storytelling programs or can create one just for
you.
LoiS tells stories from the Great Lakes or your choice of country
or continent (for example Australia or Africa), spooky stories,
Native American tales (especially Anishinabe - also called
Chippewa or Ojibwe), tall tales, specific characters or animals
(such as Paul Bunyan, the Hodja, Anansi, Rabbit, Turtle and others).
Historical reenactments include a woman who experienced the
Underground Railroad and the Civil War homefront, a one-room
schoolteacher, a “hired girl”, and 1950s memories. Her newest
program is about how Michigan provided 75% of the smuggled alcohol
in Prohibition for “High Times in Dry Times.”
A program of LoiS storytelling may also be enriched by the use of
puppets, music, dance, or American Sign Language.
After 50 years as both a librarian and storyteller, LoiS is
comfortable with groups of all ages and sizes.
A certified Word Weaving instructor, she loves to spread the joy of
storytelling and its many uses. LoiS has been storytelling
since 1970.
Her workshops include: the Basics of Storytelling; Interactive
Storytelling; Resources for Storytelling; Storytelling Thematically
for Teachers; Storytelling with Puppets; and Story Starters.
LoiS has a wide variety of programs reaching around the world and
back in time.
Of course we did assume that as a seasoned storyteller, LoiS would
deliver an excellent program. Indeed we were correct, but we did not
realize that she is also a master at stepping in and emceeing the
program in a professional manner.
