Page to Stage at Handley Library Where stories leap off the page.
 A partnership with Handley Library, 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.

 

The Elephant Man by Del Martin (Oct. 16), The story of Joseph Merrick (a.k.a. The Elephant Man) comes to life in this highly theatrical retelling featuring an ensemble of performers that share the role of Merrick. Whether on a bare stage or with an elaborate set, this adaptable play shines the spotlight on the vivid inner life of Joseph Merrick, and his relationship with the good Dr. Treves. This classic story of the ultimate outcast feels as fresh and as relevant as ever.
