About the Performer 

Douglas Coventry is the director of Fort Myers based children's theater company Theatre Kids, as well as a solo musician and performer. His delightful stage presence and creative energy make Sandman Storytime truly magical - each show is customized to the current audience, which means that it is always appropriate for kids and young adults of all ages (no need to worry that your kids are "too old" for storytime - Doug will include everyone!). It's a great laugh for the parents, too! 

Doug is joined by a rotating cast of fairy tale characters (costumed actors and cosplayers) including princesses, pirates, monsters, wizards, heroes, and even a dinosaur! Attending characters change with each event (contact Sandman to find out who will be there on a particular date).
