Terry Visger, storyteller, professional storyteller, and former elementary teacher and university instructor, has been telling stories all her life. Her mom just called them lies. Terry told stories in her own classroom for many years and she now provides storytelling performances for preschool through adult audiences. She also gives workshops for teachers, businesses, and organizations and has a storytelling to writing residency available for elementary aged children.
Terry was also one of the three Boomer Broads, a performance group who combined video, acting, and storytelling to reflect on growing up in the ’50 and 60’s. The group included Lynn Wing, Sara Slayton, and Terry. They wrote and performed four shows (“Remembering While We Still Can”, “What My Mother Never Told Me”, Over the Hill and Through the Woods, and Sixties, It’s not Just a Decade Anymore) that were hugely successful in La Crosse. While no longer performing these shows, some are available on CD by contacting Terry and their book, Remembering While We Still Can, is available through Amazon.
