Top of PageIn His Own Words: A Concert in Tribute to Walter Dean Myers
Synopsis:
During a career spanning more than 45 years, Walter Dean Myers wrote more than 100 books for children of all ages, including 2 Newbery Honor Books, 3 National Book Award Finalists, and 6 Coretta Scott King Award/Honorwinning books. In 2012, he was appointed the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, serving a two-year term in the position. This theatrical tribute to Mr. Myers combines music, dance, and spoken word with text from some of his most famous books, including excerpts from picture books like Harlem, We Are America, and Blues Journey to his gritty teen novel Monster and his memoir Bad Boy. This one-night-only celebration of Walter Dean Myers is a fitting tribute to a man who changed the face of young adult literature and touched so many with his eloquent and unflinching portrayal of young African American lives.
Notes:
Page-to-Stage Festival 2014. The three-day, Center-wide Page-to- Stage event offers a series of free readings and open rehearsals of plays and musicals being developed by local, regional, and national playwrights, librettists, and composers.
