Literature to Life (LTL) is a performance-based literacy program that presents professionally staged verbatim adaptations of American literary classics. Our mission is to perform great books that inspire young people to read and become authors of their own lives.

On Monday, May 4, Literature to Life will hold its annual Spring Benefit at the Scandinavia House in Manhattan. Through this event (and our D.C. benefit), we hope to raise $30,000 in support of Literature to Life's operations as well as the Wynn Handman Partnership Program, which provides free, high-quality arts programming to underserved schools throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

We'd love for you join us and help LTL achieve this goal!
