Costume Design
Book-It Repertory Theatre
When Juan and his family move to a big city, his whole world feels upside down. He doesn’t speak English, he doesn’t understand the rules to recess, and whenever he tries to speak, his tongue feels like heavy rocks. But with the help of music, poetry, and an encouraging teacher, Juan finds his voice and footing in this upside down world that he soon considers his home. Adapted fromThe Upside Down Boy/El nino de cabeza byJuan Felipe Herrera
As part of Book-It’s Arts & Ed program books are adapted into short plays performed by professional actors/teaching artists and tour to schools, libraries, and community centers statewide.
