ABOUT THE SHOW
Northwest Bookshelf brings stories of the Pacific Northwest and the magic of musical theater to every student!
When you open a book, you start an adventure! In the musical review Northwest Bookshelf, four children visit their school library searching for the perfect book to read. What they discover are shelves filled with books written by authors from the Pacific Northwest. With witty lyrics and enchanting music, each story comes to life in delightfully entertaining musicals. Your students will take a musical journey, exploring the world from new points of view and discovering the ripe history and cultural diversity of the Pacific Northwest.
