sample program from Authors Readers Theatre

The pieces used in our programs change, depending on which authors are participating in the event, but the format remains essentially the same. This is what we did in Naperville, Illinois in November, 2005, in a program jointly sponsored by HarperCollins Children’s Books and Anderson’s Bookshop, with scripts arranged by Justin Chanda and Jill Santopolo:

	scene i:	Poppy’s Return, by Avi
	scene ii:	Bad Boy, by Walter Dean Myers
	scene iii:	Replay, by Sharon Creech
	scene iv:	Jumping the Scratch, by Sarah Weeks
	scene v:	Autobiography of My Dead Brother, by Walter Dean Myers
	scene vi:	So B. It, by Sarah Weeks
	scene vii:	Don’t You Know There’s A War On? by Avi
	scene viii:	Love That Dog, by Sharon Creech
