"From the moment your program started, we knew that we had hit a home run!" PTA, Eader Elementary School, Huntington Beach, CA
Laughter abounds during Chris Fascione's assembly programs, which receive rave reviews from students, teachers and principals nationwide. With a strong educational focus on books, Chris acts out children's literature while motivating kids to read. You'll be LOL throughout his high-spirited, participatory shows in which literature truly comes to live!
His award-winning, comedic interpretations have been enjoyed in school assembly programs, libraries and special events from coast to coast for 15 years, reaching more than 1 million children.
Chris' unique combination of acting, storytelling, comedy, and juggling brings colorful characters from literature to life in a program designed to promote reading, literacy, and a love of books. Not your father's storyteller, but an energetic story performer! Truly one of a kind.
Chris has shows with material geared specifically for PreK, K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and Family Night Programs. All new stories for repeat bookings! Some schools invite Chris back every year.
