“The Incredible Book Eating Boy”

Oliver Jeffers’ award-winning children’s book, “The Incredible Book Eating Boy,” imagines a way in which a young boy named Henry could absorb books by eating them. This whimsical picture book has now become a musical at the Alliance Theatre. “The Incredible Book Eating Boy” will have its world premiere on July 13th, and to celebrate, the Alliance Theatre has partnered with Children Read. This non-profit organization encourages literacy among young readers. Children Read President Cindy Jaret and The Alliance’s Dan Reardon Director of Education and Associate Artistic Director, Chris Moses, give an overview of the production and explain the collaboration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
