While storytelling is still widely thought to be
only for children, Katie has always been part of
the movement to change this misconception.
High school and adult audiences often enjoy the same
material thought to be "children's' fare, but in
addition, most storytellers have many stories and
programs targeted for young adult and adult events.
Katie has a variety of material targeted for these
older audiences', and two feature programs intended
only for mature audiences: THE HERRING SHED
Jay O'Callahan's historical fiction piece transports
the listener
to Nova Scotia during WWII. This compassionate
story, filled
with laughter and tears, will touch your heart.
This story is 30+ minutes long, and is
told as part of a longer program with
appropriate accompanying material. This is
for 10th grade + and adult audiences, and
besides general audiences, would be highly
appropriate for history and literary programs,
as well as veteran events.
THE TELLTALE HEART
Edgar Allen Poe's famous work, "The Telltale Heart",
is the story of a man driven insane by his own
conscience.
With exquisite language and strength, Katie brings
this classic story of murder and madness to life.
Unedited.
This story is 30+ minutes long, and is
told as part of a longer program with
appropriate accompanying material. This is
for 10th grade + and adult audiences, and
besides general audiences, would be highly
appropriate for literary programs, English
classes, Poe related programs, and library
programs. For school programs, Katie
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS the classes read the story
prior to the performance.

Latimer’s thin silhouette was all that was visible.
Not one prop – only a chair was needed. “And so I
knew he could not see the opening of the door,” she
continued in a loud voice with exaggerated gestures.
“I had my head in a was about to undo the lantern
and the old man sprang up in his bed crying out,
‘Who’s there?’ For a whole hour I did not move a
muscle.”
Another cluster of children left
the room upon hearing “I knew it was the groan of
mortal terror…the low stifled sound that arises from
the bottom of the soul…I knew what the old man felt
and I pitied him…I dismembered the corpse – cut of
the head and arms and the legs.”
"She's so incredible," added
Annette Coutu who attended the performance with
daughters Danielle, 12, and Kimberly, 11. "She
brings you to where the story is. Being right there
and being with her."
