His homespun tales, with a sophisticated delivery, are a joy. And there is always something to take home … whether memory or message or both. Don't miss the opportunity to see him in action!”
“The power of story was never stronger than when Sandy Schuman, Storyteller Extraordinaire, spent Sunday afternoon with us at Knesseth Israel.
