“Kate Campbell was a graduate student of mine and she brought up the idea,” Flynt said. “Kate and I have been doing this for about four years now in different locations such as college campuses, libraries and clubs.”
Some of the readings done by Flynt include excerpts from books such as “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café” and “Salvation on Sand Mountain.” These readings coincide with Campbell’s original folk songs to create what is known essentially as a reader’s theatre.
Adam Miller, the managing director at Theatre Tuscaloosa, said he makes sure all of the preparations are in place.
“Page to Stage is a series of performances that Theatre Tuscaloosa invented. It’s all about a series of scenes based on literature that celebrates Alabama authors and is performed with local actors,” Miller said.
