Tanya Cusan-Espinosa is an incredible storyteller...
To inspire children in the theatre requires even greater story-telling ability than what might be perceived or even enjoyed by adult audiences, to get inside the minds of nature’s greatest critics and quite often biggest supporter when engaged properly, is of the upmost importance.
To make children care about the world around them is significant, to let their unbound imagination flourish in a way that sees them appreciate theatre as part of the solution, that is the greatest of gifts that an actor or entertainer can bestow.
