Loren Niemi has spent 37 years as a professional storyteller, creating and performing stories of all kinds for audiences of all ages. From Fringe Festivals to the Great Wall of China, from the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota to working with artists and social workers in Post-Troubles" Belfast, Northern Ireland, Loren lives the stories he tells.

He has provided presentation coaching, critical messaging, storytelling workshops and organizational consulting around the country working with advertising agencies, businesses large and small, non-profit organizations and government programs. His clients are as diverse as: Sanofi-Aventis and Medtronic, the 5th District Federal Reserve Bank, DDB and Leo Burnett Advertising, the Minneapolis Community Development Agency, the National Legal Aid & Public Defenders Association, UNUM insurance and Walt Disney World.

Loren is also a poet, the author of "The New Book of Plots" about the use of narrative forms in oral and written stories and co-author with Elizabeth Ellis of the critically acclaimed "Inviting the Wolf In: Thinking About Difficult Stories" about the value and necessity of stories that are hard to hear and harder to tell. He teaches Storytelling in the Theater program at Metro State University as well as storytelling and messaging for the University of St. Thomas Executive Leadership Institutes. He has a MA in American Culture from Hamline University.

Antonio Sacre is an internationally touring storyteller, writer, and solo performance artist. Born in Boston to a Cuban father and Irish-American mother, he is a bilingual storyteller based in Los Angeles. He earned a BA in English from Boston College and an MA in Theater Arts from Northwestern University. He has performed at the National Book Festival at the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the National Storytelling Festival, and museums, schools, libraries, and festivals internationally. Called "a charismatic, empathetic presence" by Chicago Tribune, his stories have appeared in numerous magazines, journals, and on National Public Radio.

His first picture book, The Barking Mouse, published by Albert Whitman and Company in 2003, was a winner of the 2004 International Reading Association Notable Books for a Global Society. His next two picture books, La Noche Buena, a Christmas Story and A Mango in the Hand, a Story of Proverbs, were published by Abrams Books for Young Readers. Both were chosen for inclusion in the prestigious California Readers Book Collections for School Libraries in 2011 and 2012.

His fourth book, My Name is Cool: Stories from a Cuban-Irish-American
Storyteller, was published by Familius books in 2013 for Young Adult readers. Drawn from Sacre's personal history growing up bilingual and bicultural as a Cuban-Irish-American, the book weaves the Spanish language, Cuban family, and Irish humor into 18 tales full of humor, inspiration, tradition, and family.

Two Chairs Telling has been produced and hosted by Loren Niemi since 1992 first at the Jungle Theater and since 2012 at the Bryant Lake Bowl Cabaret Theater.
