The greatest adventure story of all time...

Carl Denham, the most dangerous man in Hollywood, takes down-on-her-luck actress Anne Darrow to mysterious Skull Island, a land populated with wild savages, living dinosaurs and a 30-foot tall gorilla named Kong!

Cling to the edge of your seat as adventure storyteller Charles Johnson delivers the classic tale of beauty and the beast in three parts with a rambunctious and engaging style that delights audiences and keeps them coming back again and again.

King Kong is performed as a three week serial for schools and libraries, or as a one-evening stage presentation.

If you would like to see King Kong at your school, library, community center, clubhouse or home, contact Charles Johnson or refer your teacher, librarian or coordinator to this website.

"An Enchanting evening! Fantastic storytelling. Lots of fun!"
- Teresa Bertino

"a lot of variety again. Charles was great. I was too tired to play after the king kong trip."
- Rick Wickland

"Charles is a very entertaining guy for kids and adults."
- Cliff Keller

"A very entertaining time with Charles, our resident Story Teller extraordinaire. Captivating and funny for adults and children."
- Jeff Bertino

"Charles Johnson is a born entertainer!"
- Tim Day

"A fun evening of entertainment! Charles Johnson is the "King" of storytellers!! It's obvious he spent many hours preparing for tonight's heartfelt, passionate performance. The main event - Charles tale of "gorilla warfare" was simply great. The audience never leaves a Charles Johnson performance feeling "cheetah-ed". Okay, maybe tonight they did. The theme song from the Monkees television show was just perfect! We had a huge crowd tonight - maybe 50 people? Lots of wonderful performances tonight by the group. It seemed there was an emphasis on choosing songs that everyone could play along with. It was more fun than a barrel of.........Oh nevermind."
- Michael Stubblefield
