Theater Storytime With AJ Freeman
About This Event
Theater Storytime With AJ Freeman at Lincoln Center Kids presents a mixed lineup that includes New York–based rock/pop artist Cherry Jaymes and author John Robert Allman. Jaymes offers guitar-driven songcraft and a club-circuit sensibility, while Allman, author of three children's dance books published in collaboration with Random House and American Ballet Theatre, contributes a dance-literacy perspective to the children's program.
About Theater Storytime With John Robert Allman and Cherry Jaymes
At Lincoln Center Kids, *Theater Storytime With John Robert Allman and Cherry Jaymes* pairs spoken storytelling with live music. Allman leads the narrative while Jaymes, a New York–based rock/pop performer heard on Xanadu club bills and in lineups alongside artists such as Chrissy Chlapecka and SLAJER, shapes the room with guitar-forward songs and pop structure. No specific NYC premiere history has been announced for this program. The modest format matters because it treats young audiences as attentive listeners, not background noise.
