 Robert
Robert Gebhard is a storyteller for PAM. Expect to
enjoy being challenged by the stories you hear.
Robert delights in telling tales that ask something
of his listeners, inviting them to something more.
Often listeners are invited to be part of the
telling, which makes the story belong to all. For
example, you can journey to "Once Upon A Time..." In
that time, the Kingdom comes and happily ever after
is possible. An educator for 30 years, Robert
Gebhard has presented storytelling programs to all
ages in schools, churches, hospitals, businesses,
and senior centers. With an extensive background in
scripture and classical mythology, Robert adds rich
elements to his craft. By combining the art of
storytelling with music and the skills of an
educator, Robert's stories invite people of all ages
to grow on their journey. Typical performances
are between 45 minutes and an hour and can be
adapted to suit your need. Bob is also available for
teacher enrichment and retreats. Bob offers over 100
stories, sacred and secular, all told with love,
including:Queen
Esther (Elementary-Adult)
Hear how Esther was chosen to be the wife of the
King of Persia, and how her bravery saved her people
from destruction. This story has it all: danger,
intrigue, humor and courage. It explains the origins
of the Feast of Purim (that is, the Casting of Lots)
using dice to find God's answer to a question.
 Zachaeus
(Elementary-Adult)
Here's how the littlest man in town found the
biggest heart. In intergenerational groups, Bob
involves the children as assistant tax collectors to
bring the message of conversion home. A
lot of fun for everyone.
Most
Embarrassing Moment (Junior High - Adult)
We've all had them, those moments when we wished we
could die, but somehow don't. This personal story
could have happened to anyone; fortunately it did
happen to Bob. A real crowd pleaser.
Chew
Your Rock Candy (Preschool-Adult)
There is big trouble in town. A monster is on the
loose and the only way to get rid of it is to find
new ways to cooperate. This story is enjoyably
involving for the whole community. The lessons it
teaches are powerful and fun. This one is requested
again and again. |
