Book-It tours original adaptations of stories for children, young adults, and adults to schools, libraries, and community venues. Actors and arts educators perform stories in the unique Book-It Style™, which preserves the narrative text as it is spoken, not by a single “narrator” but as dialogue by the characters in the production and uses simple staging to challenge viewers’ imaginations.
A Touring Package:
- Includes a performance (25–45 minutes long), book, study guide, and workshop
- Tours to schools, libraries, and community venues
- Accommodates audiences ranging in size from 10–500 in gyms, classrooms, and auditoriums
In conjunction with each performance, Book-It offers workshops for children and young adults to make connections between the play and the book. Students use voice, body, and imagination to create characters and explore environments, or develop a play in the Book-It Style™. These workshops allow young people to make the leap between seeing art and creating it.
Workshop Choices
Themes in Motion Students enter the world of the story using voice, body, and imagination to explore themes, characters, and events. (Grades K-2, 30–45 min, 35 students max)
