Literature to Life SeriesLiterature to Life SeriesThe vision of the “Literature to Life” project is to introduce (or reacquaint) audience members to literature story lies in a creative, enjoyable manner; while at the same time encouraging and inspiring them to read the original text. Reading is the foundation to the success of any community, even in the face of today’s media centric culture. Reading develops the mind by increasing vocabulary, enhancing comprehension and encouraging imagination. For adults, recreational reading is a critical component for stress relief and for contribution to community. In 2007, the national Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the release of a study titled “To Read or not to Read: A Question of national Consequence” The study found that “Americans are reading less, reading less well, and the declines in reading have civic, social, and economic implications”. It also states “advance readers accrue personal, professional, and social advantages.” Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her Nana get arrested - or worse! - evicted? "Nana's Naughty Knickers is a slick comedy by a new playwright, Katy DiSavino… the dialog is crisp and funny, and the action fast-paced...[this] Senior Citizen’s sexy sideline will have you in stitches!" - Lancaster Journal 2012 Literature to Life productions: Literature to Life Series
