Dan Berkowitz started a midnight cabaret at a summer theatre in Princeton (NJ), and one week, the performers included a young Latin teacher from Trenton who asked Dan to help him with his act. The guy was a terrific magician, and his gimmick was that he never said a word while doing his tricks. He called himself…Teller.

 Brave Little Tailor in Aquinas College's (Grand Rapids, MI) Children's Tour. Photo by Erin Kovachs. When Chris climbs into his Grandmother's attic and blows upon a magic ocarina, the mysterious Storyteller and his many spirits and elves appear. But Chris is in for a surprise when the Storyteller sends Chris (and his trusty cat Keara) into the fable as the little tailor himself! Chris doesn't feel very brave to begin with, but once he encounters a not-so-bright giant, the royal court, two vain dragons, a mysterious unicorn and the dreaded Swamp Monster, perhaps he'll learn where bravery comes from. The furniture of Grandmother's attic becomes all of the locales in this comic adventure for young audiences.
