In this episode we feature the voices of Susan Harloe and JoAnne Winter Co-Artistic Directors along with Amy Prosser, the Youth Arts Program Coordinator of Word for Word Performing Arts Company. Over the past 25 plus years Word For Word has theatrically transcribed and performed over 70 stories by some of the world’s best writers.
Word for Word brings short stories to life with both exciting visuals, and innovative staging, and they do all this without altering the author’s voice including keeping every he said and she said intact. In addition to Word for Word’s live theater performance program they created an arts education program known as Youth Arts. The Youth Arts program utilizes the Word for Word style of in-depth, literature-from-the-inside-out workshops in San Francisco Bay Area schools.
