Project Overview

A Twin Cities storyteller, Brian Poulton began storytelling and working at Minnesota Children's Museum over fifteen years ago and now provides programs to captivate, entertain, and educate or all ages and any occasion. He started storytelling as an E.S.L. teacher in Southeast Asia twenty years ago. Since arriving in the Twin Cities, he has worked with audiences of all ages. They act out stories, play with language, and, above all, laugh. I believe the most valuable impact I can make as a storyteller is to turn children on to books and reading.
