Our touring company brings all the necessary costumes, props and equipment. All you need to supply is a performance space measuring approximately 20 square feet. We suggest that students sit on the floor in front of the performers for the best view.
Northwest Bookshelf 2: The Stories Continue
February 4-May 30, 2008
This delightful musical tells the tale of six children who visit their local library searching the shelves for the perfect book. What they discover are shelves filled with books by authors from the Pacific Northwest. With witty lyrics and exciting music, the stories come to life. The audience zigzags along on a musical journey, meeting wacky characters, exploring the world from new points of view, and discovering the rich history of the Pacific Northwest. These original, mini musicals range from touching to just plain wacky, and are sure to delight and spur every child’s imagination.
Recommended for grades K-5.

The original Northwest Bookshelf sold out for three years! We are certain that with new books, Northwest Bookshelf 2: The Stories Continue will be a huge hit as well.
What a unique opportunity it is for our students to experience a musical theater production right in their own school!
