The Chamber Readers describe themselves as
"Words

Readers have been delighting children and adults with a unique style of
storytelling. Combining the literary integrity of traditional
readers'
theater with an energetic spirit particularly appealing to children,
this
versatile group lifts stories off the page and dances them around the
room.
Performing without sets,costumes, or music, Chamber Readers invite
listeners
to engage their imaginations and enter the magical world of literature
by bringing to life stories of every genre and every age. They
will
tailor their presentations to suit your specific audiences and/or age
groups.
