Steve McCluer
If
you think stories are childish or only for sharing with children, you
have obviously never seen and heard storytelling done well... and it's
time you did. Steve entertains audiences young and old. He
began telling stories at schools when his
children were in kindergarten. Years after his kids have grown and
moved away Steve is still entertaining audiences from preschools to
retirement. At event such as the Tejas Festival, at family
celebrations, at social events, to children in a classroom, or to
teachers in a seminar, Steve weaves stories that can make you laugh,
make you cry, and
make you think. Steve can tell stories around a theme or just for good
ol' times. Steve is also a member of the Tejas Storytelling Association and
the Dallas Storytelling Guild. Contact him for your next event at
