Limelight

by Renée LaTulippe

A clever kids’ graphic novel featuring a unique collection of theater-inspired poems, told in 3 acts that chronicle a musical, from auditions to opening night. The script, the rehearsal piano, the dressing room mirror, and more tell their stories, bringing the whole set to life with poetry and sequential art. These fresh and funny poems prove that all the world's indeed a stage!

Back matter includes information on poetic forms and theater terms.
