With another nonprofit (https://www.washtenawpromise.org) we run a program called, "ACT ME A STORY, " which involves creating short, professionally produced videos of storybooks. The videos are available to preschoolers, teachers, & families in Greater Ypsilanti, MI where over 30% live below the poverty line, and many young children have limited exposure to books in any format. The videos help ignite excitement about reading. The videos feature professional actors of color reading classic stories and culturally relevant books for under-resourced preschoolers, most of whom are children of color. ACT ME A STORY produced 7 videos in 2022 and is working on more videos in 2023 and beyond. We hope to grow the program & expand its geographic reach. 0 2870 PlayZoomers is a live, online theatre company that produces affordable performances, featuring original plays of different genres, lengths, and cast sizes.
