Liz Smith Parkhurst: Liz became interested in telling stories as a child when she realized she could scare her cousins. It wasn't until she was older that she discovered storytelling as a profession and realized her dad had been telling stories all her life.

She loves history that comes to life to explain the way we live and why we do things we do. She also performs many historical stories and creates living history experiences for the classrooms.Liz's work as a storyteller has taken her all around the United States, Canada, and Ireland.
