How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I am an author, artist and actor.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
The children's books are a wonderful combination not only of plot and puppet storybook characters, but also an audio CD with musical background, and a Teaching Guide for Educators and Parents. Dramatic readings of children's books are brought to schools and other community organizations.
The variety and uniqueness of artistic work available is very exciting. Exhibitions of varied art collections are set up in places of interest, including schools, libraries, universities, churches, synagogues, senior centers and more.
The programs offered for adults and seniors use a power point presentation to share artwork, which, in many cases, are the inspiration for songs, poems and narratives that are recited and read for the eager audience who simultaneously enjoys viewing the paintings and experienceing a dramatic performance.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Books and artwork are sent throughout the United States and abroad.
Dramatic programs are presented especially in the Chicago metropolitan area and throughout Illinois, though can and have been performed in other states.
