The Legend of Georgia McBride at Maryland Ensemble Theatre

Toms, the son of migrant farm workers, meets a librarian who introduces him to the wonderful world of books. The stories enrich the lives of Toms family and instill a love of reading. This is the inspiring true story of Toms Rivera, who grew up in a migrant worker family, befriended a librarian in Iowa, and learned to love books and the places they took him. Toms went on to a successful career in academia and became the chancellor of the University of California, Riverside. Adapted from the well-loved book, this play can be readily understood by both English and Spanish speakers.
