Bethany began telling stories many decades ago while working at a summer camp. Realizing that
her young campers were not really engaged in the book she was reading aloud to them, she
closed the book and began to tell and they all sat up and listened, and begged for more. Since
then she has told stories at festivals, concerts, and Story Cafes, as well as in libraries and schools
from South Korea to Cote d’Ivoire, from England to Nepal. Bethany brings her background as an
actor, French teacher and world traveler to her performances. Since returning to Canada in 2004
Bethany has worked with Storytelling Alberta as a performer and mentor. She has also been busy
with Artist-in-Residencies offering Storytelling workshops in both English and French. In 2008
Bethany toured Quebec as a participant in the Canadian Children’s Book Centre Book Week and in
2011 was given a special recognition award for “Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning”
for her work as a storyteller, playwright and theatre director with Caraway School in Edmonton
