ABOUT OUR TELLERS

Sam has written books and stage pieces including Sanctuary: The Story of Zion for the National Parks Service centennial, Echoes of Hammers and Spikes (with Suzanne Christensen) for the sesquicentennial of the transcontinental railroad, and One of a Million Stars, commemorating the Mars rover Opportunity. More at about Sam.
Jane Dorfman tells tales of dutiful daughters and wise women, faithful sons and wicked kings, of magic skipping ropes and Irish heroes, of the angel Elijah and the fools of Chelm. Jane has performed at the Smithsonian Institution, at the Washington Folk Festival, at Speak! in Shepardstown, WV, and at the Hans Christian Andersen Statue in Central Park.
