Watch some of your favorite Halloween books come to life, as Western Illinois University Theatre students bring you Page to Stage mini-plays. Each mini-play will feature a cast of actors playing out a storybook, as the narrator reads. Perfect for children of all ages- high energy and interactive. Come for just one story, or stay for them all!
