The Owl's Tree
Akbar Imhotep, Storyteller and Puppeteer  Atlanta’s own griot
demonstrates storytelling’s universal appeal and teaching power.  In African costumes
or street clothes, he creates the magic of stories and puppetry for spellbound
audiences.  His tales and songs span both time and geography from Appalachia to
Zimbabwe.  With his tabletop theater, Akbar shares  treasures of many cultures while
teaching personal and social values. His two new presentations are, Dr. Martin Luther
King: Born to Do Great Things and stories from South America.  He offers workshops
and residencies in storytelling and in making and using puppets.
