Revisit two classic stories like you've never seen them before! Victoria Grace Elliott's Please Be My Star opens with teen playwright Erika writing a play for her crush (and obsession) Christian in this fresh take on The Phantom of the Opera. Gume Laurel III reinterprets Samson and Delilah as Samson & Domingo, a football star and a French horn player whose love is challenged by the rivalry of their schools. Join these authors in a discussion exploring playful and innovative adaptations of familiar tales.
