Master storyteller Diane Macklin has an engaging, "dynamic" approach to delighting audiences of all ages. She artfully integrates her background in theatre and education with a "vibrant, moldable face," lyrical voice, and dancing hands. She embraces diverse cultures beyond the African and American traditions through audience participation.
"Diane's performance was wonderful...Each year she brings us new adventures and tales that the students talk about for days."
