Collaboration with West of Broadway Theater Company

Producing an exciting series of interactive productions, West of Broadway and Reading Is Fundamental of Southern California share a goal to promote literacy by bringing a new generation of children into the theater, introducing them to updated versions of classic stories, and letting them take part in the action.

West of Broadway’s recent updated classic productions (written and directed by Artistic Director Diane Namm) include Mrs. Scrooge,based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, 

Bunny Tales Episode IV: Bunny Wars, based on Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit and HUCK, based on Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. West of Broadway’s You, the Jury Series presented 12 Angry Jurors, a modern adaptation of 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose   and MONSTER, based on the award-winning novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers.  Members of the audience participate in the updated classics by helping the hero banish the villain. For the You, the Jury productions, audiences serve as jurors, delivering a verdict, which changes the outcome of each of these courtroom dramas.
