John Salicco is a captivating story teller. By flickering fire light at the end of the day or on a quiet afternoon among friends with nothing more important to do, a good story takes us back to our social beginnings. There exists an ebb and flow of nuance and expression between narrator and audience. This is theater in its most intimate form.
This program is best suited for smaller size young adult or adult audiences. Often mingled with folk ballads, Mr. Salicco can relate any of several tales of American folklore.
A Shooting Match Between Davy Crockett and Mike Fink
Crockett’s Morning Hunt
Mike Fink: The Shooting of the Cup
The Saga of Pecos Bill
Tales of Paul Bunyan
If you prefer a more "a la carte"
approach, we are happy to provide individual tales of any length or a string of tales in
any combination. We can tell stories of the Tar Baby, Johnny Appleseed or Rip
Van Winkle. We can provide Nursery Tales, Witch Tales, Ghost Tales,
Tall Tales or Short Tales. We have stories from the Native American
tradition and tales of the sea.
