School agrees not to schedule any other activity in performance space or an adjacent space that may interfere with performance. The Appalachian Tale is usually performed in a multipurpose room, gym, “cafetorium,” or the like, with students seated on the floor in a semicircle. If the only available performance space is an auditorium, please clear stage before performer arrives and make sure someone is there to turn on the stage lights.
Testimonials
It was excellent....The students loved it. I loved that it was storytelling. I thought it would be a nice change in the students' day, creative, and teach them a bit about a part of our country.

The students were engaged and listening the entire time. Seth's performance was both educational and entertaining! Several students asked me afterwards where they could find more Appalachian stories and songs.
