This is the 9th year of the Book-It All Over! and Roosevelt High School Residency program. Key concepts for this project include instilling artistic ownership and preparing students to direct and adapt literature on their own next semester. Students learn to effectively communicate as directors and to identify language that resonates with readers and translates into acting choices for performers.

Book-It All Over – Guest teaching artist – Gail Frasier
Roosevelt Drama Teacher – Ruben Van Kempen.
