Book-It strives to return theatre to its roots, to the place where the spoken and the written word intersect and where the story comes alive for the audience. What you see and hear at a Book-It performance is literary prose spoken by the characters of the story as if it were dialogue in a play—often word for word in a short story and, in adaptations of larger works, selected narrative. This is the Book-It Style™. We ask our audiences to use their imaginations, thereby becoming participants in a Book-It performance.
Whether you are a returning subscriber or a Book-it first-timer, you will experience wondrous things you've never before seen on stage.
