  • Christopher Leebrick is an award-winning storyteller who has enthralled audiences since the age of thirteen. He first appeared with Lane County's "Troupe of Tellers" Roosevelt Middle School in 1975, and has since shared stories with thousands across the United States and as far away as Australia. All three of his CDs, "Good Stories From All Over," "Critters, Kids, and Cowboys” and “Spoooky!” have received national Storytelling World awards.
  • Christopher returns to Lane County with a cornucopia of stories including world folk-tales, original stories, narrative poetry, whoppers and jump-tales. Utilizing a rich flexible voice, a dynamic stage presence, and powerful acting, Christopher brings the ancient art of storytelling alive for each and every audience member. He also sets the mood for many of his tales with the skillful use of instruments such as the harmonica and the eastern cedar flute.
  • Chris' assemblies inspire students to become more expressive readers and to truly strive for excellence in creative writing and the art of theatre.
  • "Wow! Christopher is a master of his craft and such a treasured inspiration...a 10!" Lane County Educators
