Since 1995, Ellen Musikant has performed for audiences of all ages.  She likes to say, "I tell all kinds of stories, to all kinds of people, in all kinds of places!"  In addition to the usual suspects of schools, libraries and festivals, Ellen frequently tells in museums including the Newark Museum, Morris Museum and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan.

Since 2005, Ellen has been storyteller-in-residence at the Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

As an affiliated artist with Storytelling Arts, Inc, Ellen conducts in-class residencies with preK, grade and middle school students in many of New Jersey's neediest school districts.   In addition, Ellen facilitates Teachers Workshops on the use of stories in the classroom and on learning to tell a story.  (To read more, see Teacher Magazine, January 2002, Voice Lessons.) 

To learn more, contact Ellen at emusikant@gmail.com or 973-669-0244.  She looks forward to hearing from you.
