Making its West Coast debut, the New York-based Making Books Sing is a theater company that commissions and brings to life musicals whose artistry is as high, and whose content as thought-provoking, as fine theater for adult audiences. Productions are based on outstanding contemporary children's books that honor children, their struggles growing up, their cultural diversity, and their intellect. In this program, audiences follow Jose Limon's remarkable path through childhood in Mexico, his immigration and adaptation to the United States, and his struggle to become a painter, and then a dancer, in New York City.
