Skit comic relief!

Tony Toledo has been telling stories to pay his rent since 1990. Students in elementary schools across New England clap for more stories. Young library listeners sit eagerly to hear what he’ll tell next. Birthday children request special stories for their special day. Tony always gives the birthday child a lucky golden dollar. Everybody gets a riddle bookmark and a head full of stories.

You may have seen Tony in Green Beverly’s previous Cabot Community Conversations; as the grouchy trashcan in Talking Trash (2024) and the green apple in Foodfight (2025).
