For the past 30 years, Linda Gorham has engaged audiences internationally with poignant and humorous family stories; interactive folktales; notably twisted fairy tales; and riveting, well-researched historical stories. Each performance is infused with unconventional humor.
    Gorham has two award-winning CDs. Jumping on Grandma’s Plastic Covered Couch is a revealing look at the inspiring and often unpredictable world of family, love, and self-identity. Common Sense and Uncommon Fun breathes new life into timeless multicultural folktales.
