Lindsay Bonilla is a graduate of Northwestern University, where her studies focused on theatre, creative dramatics and storytelling. Her career as a storyteller began in Madrid, Spain where while working for Interacting, she learned the power of using audience-participatory stories to teach and connect with an audience. In 2008, Lindsay combined her love for stories and world travel and founded World of Difference, Ltd., an interactive storytelling company which aims to inspire the imagination while introducing audiences of all ages to foreign cultures through their folklore. With World of Difference, Lindsay performs at schools, libraries, senior centers, festivals, churches and other venues throughout the year. She also teaches and conducts workshops on the benefits and uses of Interactive Storytelling.

In 2010, Lindsay partnered with Little Beth Entertainment to write, co-produce and star in the film, Flight to India (based on the Indian folktale, "The Monkey and the Crocodile"). This exciting project which introduces audiences to the power of story will be available on DVD in the summer of 2011. An avid writer, Lindsay has authored two children's books, "Lily and the City of Light" and "'Twas the Year Christ Left Christmas," with more books awaiting release.
