Library to Host World War II Reading/Performance Featuring New Roots Students

Tompkins County Public Library will host New Roots Charter School sophomores for a performance of an original reading about World War II May 10 at 3 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Based on interviews the students conducted with local seniors and their families about WWII, the reading relates personal stories and war-time experiences.  Directed by Theatre Artist Sue Perlgut, recent Ithaca College graduate Deanalis Resto and New Roots English teacher Sue Schwartz, the performance is free and open to the public.

This program has been made possible through an Arts in Education grant from the Community Arts Partnership.  A May 9 reading is planned for 6 p.m. in the lobby of the New Roots Charter School.

For more information about the readings, contact Schwartz at (607) 882-9220 or info@newrootsschool.org.
