Two of my puppet regulars, Robert & Julie, from Storytime with Gary took the stage to improvise their own version of Die Hard. I'm not sure either of them had actually seen Die Hard, but they were both desperate for stage time.

In the very first episode of Storytime with Gary on Grafenberg TV, I read The Soul Bird by Michal Snunit — a beautifully simple book that manages to say something profound about emotions, memory, and what it means to be a person. It’s technically a children’s book, but like the best “kids” stories, it hits adults right in the chest.

During the early days of the pandemic, I started a weekly solo show called Storytime with Gary for Grafenberg TV — a digital content stream launched by the Grafenberg Theater.
