Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks
Adapted from the book by Jason Reynolds
By El Chelito and Raymond O. Caldwell
Aug. 31 - Sept. 17, 2023
This story was going to begin like all the best stories: with a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen—they were all too busy. Washington, D.C. native, New York Times best-selling author, and Kennedy Center Next 50 leader Jason Reynolds conjures 10 tales (1 per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings.
Ten unique perspectives are brilliantly woven into one funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life. And now Reynolds’ award-winning book (Carnegie Medal, Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book, National Book Award for Young People’s Literature finalist, and more) becomes an exciting world premiere, in a co-production with The Kennedy Center.
Most enjoyed by ages 8+.
