Page to Stage at Handley Library Where stories leap off the page.

A partnership between Selah Theatre Project and the Handley Library branch, this series brings literature to life through readings, adaptations, and interactive performances. Audiences engage directly with the joy of books reimagined through live theatre.

 

As we prepare for our next chapter, Selah Theatre Project is embracing a season that moves beyond traditional walls. We believe theatre should meet people where they are - whether in a cozy living room, a bustling coffeehouse, a historic library, or a reimagined ballroom. By bringing unapologetic theatre into unconventional spaces, we invite our community to experience art that is bold, immediate, and unafraid to spark conversation. This roaming season reflects our belief that art is not bound by a stage, but thrives wherever people gather to listen, imagine, and connect.

 

A Christmas Carol by Greg Oliver Bodine (Dec 4), Charles Dickens' 1867 American Reading Tour is off to a rough start. Due to an inexplicable loss of his luggage, he regretfully announces that he will be unable to read from his beloved classic, A Christmas Carol. All is not lost however; Dickens delivers what he promised by performing from memory the magical story of Ebenezer Scrooge's journey from miserliness to redemption with warmth and humor. This one-man play is based on the condensed version Dickens himself used on his historic reading tours of the United States.
