A clever kids' graphic novel featuring a unique collection of theater-inspired poems, told in 3 acts that chronicle a musical, from auditions to opening night!

Young thespian fans of Theater Camp and Better Nate Than Ever will cherish this love letter to theater and theater production. Enjoy the show!

An appealing combination of fun comic illustrations and verse, Limelight is a collection in 3 acts and takes place during the mounting of a middle-school musical theater production. From auditions to rehearsals to the drama of opening night, this genre busting, poetry graphic novel gives voice to all things theater.

Script's Tips
Dear actors, advice:
be perfect, precise--
say what the playwright wrote!

Throw in some spice,
some fire and ice,
but please, don't overemote.

Personification of the script, the rehearsal piano, the dressing room mirror and more, these fresh and funny poems prove that all the world's indeed a stage in this unprecedented middle-grade graphic novel.

Back matter includes information about poetic forms and theater terms to further enhance the reading.
