Bad Books

A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere

A Co-Production with Local Theater Company

All it took was one concerned mom, one very questionable book, and one extremely patient librarian. As tensions rise and tempers flare, what starts as a simple question about “appropriate content” turns into a spirited—and surprisingly heartfelt—debate about parenting, protection, and the power of a good story. With sharp wit and a whole lot of heart, Bad Books takes a comedic look at the messiness of motherhood, the madness of modern outrage, and the quiet heroism of librarians everywhere.

Bad Books is produced at Curious Theatre Company as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters are Florida Studio Theatre (Sarasota, FL), Round House Theatre (Bethesda, MD), and Williamston Theatre (Williamston, MI) with additional support from The David Goldman Fund for New American Plays.
