From the Act!vated Story Theatre’s production Tales as Old as Time for your consideration for New Hampshire Library’s 2020 summer reading program.
Tales as Old as
Time features story options specifically chosen to
suit the CSLP theme “Imagine Your Story”. Each show is 45 minutes long
and includes 2 folktales presented on stage in inimitable Act!vated Story
Theatre fashion. https://activatedstorytheatre.com/multicultural.html
“The Act!vated Story Theatre is an awesome
experience. It’s not just a show, it’s an interactive storytime that gets
everyone involved, kids and adults alike! They were far beyond what I expected.
The team was self-sufficient and set up and tore down fast and with little to
no help from library staff! They kept the attention of the kids and handle
everyone exceptionally, even through some rowdy bits! The Act!vated team
definitely activated the room. Kids and adults were laughing the whole time,
and the Activated team forced kids to use their imagination and be creative
through the whole show. I think they certainly sparked some ideas with the kids
in how they can tell stories at home and be actors too!” ~ Matthew Mano,
Program Coordinator, Youth Services, Swansboro Branch Library, Swansboro, NC
Since 1988,
Act!vated Story Theatre has been going above and beyond storytelling, to stage
folktales that stimulate the imagination, emphasize critical thinking and build
cultural awareness. Each theatrical production features non-stop action,
physical comedy, audience participation, American Sign Language and imaginative
props; staged by two professional actors and guest stars from your audience
before a gigantic one-of-a-kind oversize book.

Author of Celia and the Little Boy, Irene is available for speaking as both an author and advocate for children with depression. Irene would like to think of this not as a presentation but as a conversation: a shared experience that includes dialogue, questions and perhaps even some answers. These engagements typically include a short reading of the book to serve as the starting point for this important conversation. Audiences include people of all ages.
We owe it to our children to do whatever it takes to help them through the darkness. With the rise in childhood depression and suicide, we need to do more as caregivers, friends, and communities. Engaging in conversations and speaking out is one way we can spread light on children who are hiding in the darkness and give them hope. ~ http://irenebuchine.com/
“I’m
a clinical social worker who happens to write – mainly children’s books, in
rhyme, with incredible hand-painted illustrations by Cameron Bennett. On the surface,
my books appear to be cute, mostly fun stories, with some recurring characters.
What makes my books different from most, is my therapy background, including
the life-skills discussion questions that help readers relate to issues in
their own lives. My newest book, that should be out in a few weeks is Stover
Goes to Camp. The original Stover came out in 2011. That’s
about Stover being very fit and going to the gym. The new Stover book is about
diversity, getting along with others, and discovering more about himself. I
visit schools, am a presenter for CLIF, and I speak to audiences of all ages.”
