 | BOOK-IT ALL OVER (BIAO), the educational wing of Book-It Repertory Theatre, is dedicated to inspiring people of all ages to read. We tour a diverse range of stories to schools, libraries, and community centers throughout Washington State; conduct long-term residencies in schools; offer teacher professional development for school staff; and present low-cost student matinées of our main stage shows.
All of these programs are specifically designed to offer youth a positive and active experience with literature. Book-It All Over brings books to vivid life on stage-literature becomes accessible, curriculum is enriched, students become passionate about reading, and art becomes an integral part of education. |
Our Mission is to provide an interactive relationship between youth and literature through theatrical productions and educational programs that promote the joy of reading, embrace diversity and enhance student and teacher learning, and inspire the imagination.

TOURING STORIES
Original adaptations of stories for children, young adults, and adults alike. 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.
