About Harvey and Contact Information

Harvey Heilbrun retired in 2006, after having taught grades 4-6 in the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District for 33 years. Spurred on by his performance in the Middle School play, "Hans Christian Andersen" in 1981, Harvey became a professional singer/storyteller. He has performed at festivals, schools and libraries on Long Island, in addition to running workshops on "Storytelling in the Classroom" with teachers.

Harvey gathers his stories from a number of different sources, mainly folktale collections, picture books and tales that he’s heard from other tellers. He gets pleasure in telling Jack tales and folktales that usually have a twist. He enjoys the songs of Tom Chapin, Sally Rogers and Woody Guthrie.
