The StoryFace-A-Saurus Show

Logo for The StoryFace-A Saurus Show

We’re all going to have fun this summer with Dinosaur tales and Science on faces in The StoryFace-A-Saurus Show. Featuring my new interactive tale “Dinosaurs: Who Knew?” — the story of dinosaurs and how much the story has changed over the years as science makes new discoveries. With folktales about ancient creatures like Crocodiles, Sharks and legendary Dragons and a special appearance of the King of the Monsters in my own story of how I was inspired to become a storyteller by Godzilla.

Christopher Agostino’s StoryFaces  is an exciting storytelling show in which I paint the faces of audience volunteers to illustrate the stories as I tell them, captivating the audience with these uniquely animated tales. My new StoryFace-A-Saurus show gives me the chance to combine some favorite folktales and fantastic faces with a childhood love of dinosaurs and science  — including a celebration of the Museum of Natural History for bringing dinosaurs to life for me as a child.

A StoryFace performance runs 60 minutes. I choose volunteers from the audience to be part of the show onstage while engaging the full audience with storytelling and audience involvement. The content is targeted towards school aged kids and family audiences, including toddlers is ok. I bring a sound system, require no special equipment, and comfortably perform for small groups or large audiences.

Please contact me with any questions, or to schedule a performance.

Our Transformations facepainting artists can transform any event with a wealth of surprising dinosaur and science face designs from years of events for the Bronx Zoo and the World Science Festival. You will be amazed at the quality of the faces and how quickly we paint them — these are all examples of faces painted on guests at events.

This summer’s StoryFace-A-Saurus Show is Godzilla Inspired with a special appearance by the King of the Monsters! I grew up a dinosaur fan — fully indoctrinated by visits to the Museum of Natural History — and have been painting all sorts of dinosaur themed faces at events over the years. In the early 1990s, I saw Allynn Gooen using balloons and audience members to bring a Godzilla story to life on stage, and that was an inspiration for me to become a storytelling facepainter, Godzilla Inspired.

VIDEO: StoryFaces at Jackson Storyfest

Just returned from Jackson, MI where I took part in the 30th annual Jackson Storyfest, part of a herd of storytellers who were in area schools performing for over 15,000 students May 3-5, 2017.

Special thanks to Bart Hawley and his crew from JTV who came to film StoryFaces at Parkside — and who was  brave enough to be transformed himself for Punia and the King of the Sharks. On Friday night, I was the featured teller for an evening performance at a beautiful old theatre currently under renovation, the Michigan Theatre, and it is a rare pleasure for me to perform in such a classic theatre. My thanks also to Anthony and Steven at the theatre, who could not have been more welcoming.
