BOOK-IT

Book-It Repertory Theatre is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming great literature into great theatre through simple and sensitive production and to inspiring its audiences to read. Our vision is to be a nationally-known theatre arts center where Book-It's partnership of theatre, literature and education nourishes literacy and the artistic vitality of our community... Book-It creates world-premiere adaptations of classic and contemporary literature for the stage, preserving the narrative text as it is spoken, not by a single "narrator" but as dialogue by the characters in the production. This technique, pioneered by Founding Co-Artistic Directors Jane Jones and Myra Platt, has been honed over the last 30 years and continues to be developed by Book-It artists today. Performing books instead of plays allows the Book-It theatre experience to spark the audience's interest in reading and to challenge the audience to participate by using their imaginations. Book-It's unique..
