Where We've Been

Living Literature is a collective of Rhode Island based artists and educators who use a readers theatre style presentation to dramatize non dramatic writing. This physical experience explores literature through an imaginative process which gets participants on their feet and allows observers to see the story unfold in an unique way.

Living Literature has its non-profit status through an arrangement with the Providence Athenaeum. Since our beginning in January of 1996, Living Literature has created well over 100 presentations based on poems, stories, novels, plays, essays, biographies, articles, and oral histories. We have presented the works of more than 75 different authors, and made presentations in over 40 schools in the southeastern New England area. Living Literature is listed in the Education Roster of the Rhode Island State Council of the Arts
