SOMETHING NEW AND LOCAL IN ENTERTAINMENT
Mark your calendars for an evening of entertainment, inspiration and celebration of Philadelphia's literary community at the premiere of Book2Stage – a unique production showcasing
the rich talent and creativity of local authors and actors.
The show brings scenes from books written by four
Philadelphia-based authors to life on stage:
Michael Caudo, Book2Stage Executive Co- Producer and Author:
Return of the Prodigal: A Prodigal of Passyunk Avenue Mystery
Crime/Heist Thriller
Lisa Grunberger, Book2Stage Actor and Author:
Yiddish Yoga: Ruthie’s Adventures in Love, Loss, and the Lotus Position

U.S., State, and Local History, Non-Fiction
Natalie Pantaleo, Book2Stage Executive Co- Producer and Author:

But it’s not just about the books. Our seasoned host, Author of Finding Polaris, transformational coach, podcast host and creator of Iron Advocate Mindset—Bob Levant, 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, "Ruthie" whose unexpected banter is sure to elicit some laughs and make Book2Stage 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 and actors. This is a chance to get to know the ensemble cast, learn about their writing or acting 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 catered refreshments after the show.
Another Philly first-- we can’t think of anything else like it!
