Everyone has at least one great story. This tagline has grown from an off-hand slogan that we use at Tall Tales to start our live shows in India, to a kind of mantra that everyone who works with the organization holds dear. Why is that? Because it's true! All of us were born to be storytellers-even though we may not realize it. We see our job at Tall Tales as getting everyone we meet to see just how true this is. Our special talent as a species is telling stories, and because of that, we fundamentally believe that stories are intimately tied up with both our individual and collective destinies.
