PopGeeks.net recently had the chance to sit down and speak to a geek icon in the form of Tami Stronach. Fans will remember her as The Childlike Empress from the 1984 classic The NeverEnding Story. She was just 11 years old when she was cast in that iconic role. However, since that time, Stronach turned her focus onto a career in professional dance and choreography work. Recently she and her husband, Greg, have started a new theater brand called Paper Canoe Company. The focus for the brand is to create unique and live children’s theater experiences. She’s also planning a live theatrical show that will be touring later this year across the United States and internationally in theatrical concert venues with video projections, puppets, and Tami performing the role of Harmony, the Giant’s Rock Star Daughter, for the show Beanstalk Jack.
