StoryFaces--See stories appear on the faces of audience members!

Christopher Agostino’s StoryFaces is an exciting storytelling show in which I paint the faces of audience volunteers to illustrate the stories as I tell them, engaging the audience with uniquely animated tales of world cultures and our shared humanity — ranging from new takes on familiar tales like Aesop’s Fables, to hero tales like Punia and the King of the Sharks and The Tail of the Dragon, plus comic characters and surprising faces in my original stories such as The Tiger that Went to the House of the Sun, When A Man Met A Crocodile, The Adventure of 2 Lizards on 4 Faces, and The Amazing Face Story!

When a group of New York City Girl Scouts learn in 2016 that there are no statues of women in Central Park, they organize and combine forces in a quest to change that shocking fact. The girls raise funds, spread awareness, provide testimony, and convince city officials to erect the first monument of women in Central Park. What started out as a discovery on a field trip turns into a four-year process of not giving up or giving in. This powerfully true story chronicles how young girls made a significant impact through unity and perseverance.
