Don't Miss This First-Time Philly Production
Family, Friends, and Colleagues:

Please mark your calendars for an evening of entertainment, inspiration and celebration of Philadelphia's literary community at the premier of Book2Stage (formerly called “Book'd.”)– a unique production showcasing the rich talent and creativity of local authors and actors.

The show brings scenes from books written by local authors to life on stage, followed by a panel discussion with the authors. But it’s not just about the books! Our seasoned host will keep audience members engaged throughout the show as we journey through stories and eras . . . with a few pleasant interruptions from one book's endearing character whose unexpected banter is sure to elicit some laughs. This dose of liveliness ensures that Book2Stage is a truly entertaining experience for all.

At the close of the performances, the audience is invited to experience a live question-and-answer session with the authors. This is a chance to get to know the authors, learn about their writing process, their characters, gain insights into book publishing, and more.

And, finally, audience members will have an opportunity to meet and greet the authors, actors, and host, purchase books, get copies signed, and enjoy complimentary refreshments after the show.

We can’t think of anything else like it, and we can't wait to see you there!
