Danger: Books! is an ongoing series of readings from books that have been banned or challenged in the United States. Every year, we offer a fresh selection of readings. Past programs have included excerpts from The Lord of the Flies, Beloved, The Lorax, Geography Club, The Boy Who Lost His Face, and And Tango Makes Three. Readings are presented in the Book-It Style™ by professional actors who perform the most controversial sections from the books, then facilitate a discussion on the First Amendment and how and why books are banned and challenged.
Please note: Danger: Books! does not include a book or workshop.
GRADES: 6 – Adult TOURS: Sept – Nov 2011 THEMES: Censorship, First Amendment rights, artistic freedom EVENTS: Banned Books Month, Teen Read Month, National Arts and Humanities Month (October)
"I just want to thank you for the stellar Danger: Books! performance the Book-It actors gave today .... It was deeply moving! They have set the stage for great follow up conversations and lessons."
