Emmy Award-Winning Author Comes to Evansville Children’s Museum

On February 28, 2015, the Koch Family Children’s Museum (cMoe) is excited to host Emmy Award-Winning storyteller and author, Bobby Norfolk.

Norfolk specializes in family entertainment and educational programs. He travels nationally and internationally offering storytelling performances, living history programs, workshops, and keynotes for youth and adults. Bobby’s stories are ideal for audiences of all ages, and are a combination of adventure, comedy and drama. He will bring us a series of two spellbinding programs each tailored to make history easy to understand and fun.

Performance Schedule

10am-11am: Rhythms, Rhymes, & Raps

Get ready to rock the house with rhythm and soul as Bobby makes poetry exciting and fun. Bobby turns traditional tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood” or “The Three Billy’s Goat’s Gruff,” into finger-snapping, toe-tapping verse. He transforms selections from his favorite authors into comical and creative raps, and fills them all with zany vocal effects, lively animation, and tons of humor.

12pm-1pm: Anansi the Spider Stories

Anansi the Spider is used in African stories to pass on cultural values & traditions by humorously showing how problems are created and solved. They also help to enhance cultural awareness and develop positive character traits.

Regular admission applies, with cMoe members being free! This program is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, Indiana Arts Commission and the Vanderburgh Community Foundation.
