About the Instructors

Sarah Brady is a storyteller, teaching artist, and writer whose backgrounds in theatre and education influence her storytelling. She taught communication and theatre at multiple universities before making her way toward solo performance and then into the storytelling world. She has told stories in the US and UK, where she lived for three years soaking in stories as her roots grew deep in British soil. Sarah’s telling spans genres of historical, traditional, literary, and personal tales, while her awards include being chosen the Sunburst Performing Artist of the Year from Arts for Learning Virginia and selected as best liar of the Cambridge Storytellers Liars Contest. Passionate about stories that help us see each other and the world around us, she specializes in finding the heart of each story she tells. Learn more on her website.
