In 1996, Making Books Sing began as the family theatre and education program of the Tony Award-winning Vineyard Theatre. Making Books Sing is now an independent nonprofit theatre that produces professional theatre and related arts education programs that immerse children in the study of contemporary children's literature. Our mission: to empower children to experience the performing arts and literature as vehicles for their imaginations, artistic expression and learning. Making Books Sing's unique combination of professional musical theatre productions and hands-on workshops, all related to books, inspire children to grow as literate, creative and socially aware individuals. To date, Making Books Sing's full-scale theatre productions and arts-in-educational programs have reached more than 80,000 children and adults.
