| Steve Otto |
Steve Otto is a full time professional storyteller who specializes in making people laugh! Since 1985, Steve has spun tales and amused audiences across the Midwest and he’s coming to the Bates County Museum on Saturday, May 3rd at 10:00 am. “Tales of the Ozarks” is the topic of the day and Steve will enlighten us as to where these timeless stories and lore all began. It seems that many are from Ireland and Scotland. They made their way to America, on to the Appalachians and westward to the Missouri Ozarks.
Steve has worked in television, and Community Theater as well as giving over 200 programs per year to audiences of all ages; from nursery schools to nursing homes. Everyone loves a good story! Steve has a degree from the University of Missouri in speech and dramatics. Returning to MU as an instructor, Steve taught storytelling there as well as at Missouri State University, Kansas City Metropolitan Community Colleges and Rockhurst University. He is often a presenter at various conferences, workshops, intergenerational programs and has traveled the Midwest teaching the art of storytelling.
Partnering with the Missouri Humanities Council and the State Historical Society of Missouri, the Museum is proud to host Steve Otto and is looking forward to a morning of delightful entertainment. The day promises to be filled with laughter, which is always good for the soul! Steve has recorded three CD’s and will have them available for purchase at the Museum: “The Wide Mouth Frog,” “Steve Otto tells Scary Stuff,” and “Potpourri.”
