"Where ever Sacre goes, he leaves storytellers behind."
—Chicago Tribune
Sacre's 45 minute storytelling assemblies draw from an extensive repertoire that includes folk talkes, myths and legends from around the world, focusing on Spanish-speaking countries, especially Mexico. He can perform entirely in English, Spanish or a lively interweaving of both. His teaching workshops give educators specific tools that they can use to bring storytelling across their curriculum from Pre-K through post graduate level. Sacre is a favorite featured storyteller at over 50 festivals worldwide, including the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee and the Kennedy Center.
Antonio Sacre is an internationally touring storyteller, writer, and solo performance artist based in Los Angeles. He has been a featured storyteller at the Kennedy Center, the National Storytelling Festival, the National Book Festival at the Library of Congress, and museums, schools, libraries, and festivals worldwide.
His recordings have won numerous national awards, and his retelling of the story The Barking Mouse was published as a picture book by Albert Whitman and Company in March 2003. His next two picture books will be published by Abrams Books for Young Readers in 2010.
