Second Graders Restore Lost Stories on Stage

Bolles Lower School Whitehurst Campus second graders took the McGehee Auditorium stage January 30 for “The Library of Lost Stories,” an original production by drama teacher Daniel Austin and music teacher Beth Zerkowski.

The show opens in a town library, where children and librarians make an unexpected discovery: characters from their favorite books are stepping off the shelves – literally. From princesses and pirates to explorers from galaxies far away, these storybook visitors begin losing track of who they are. The children in the library step in to help, reminding each character of the morals, meaning and heart that make their stories special.

Once restored, the characters return to their vibrant bookshelf—beautifully crafted by the second graders with guidance from lower school art teacher Elizabeth Crawford—and share a final reminder with the audience about the enduring power of stories and connection.
