BAD BOOKS
By Sharyn Rothstein
Directed by Tony Caselli
April 23 – May 31, 2026
A worried mother comes to the library for what she thinks will be a reasonable, polite discussion about which books are appropriate for her teenage son. But her confrontation with the town librarian, a woman who cares deeply about her job and her community, sparks a chain reaction of consequences no one expected. Equal parts sharply funny and heartbreakingly poignant, Bad Books is a raucous and brash debate in the quietest place in America... the library. Contains mature content and language.
Bad Books is produced at Williamston Theatre as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters include Round House Theatre (Bethesda, MD), Florida Studio Theatre (Sarasota, FL), and Curious Theatre (Denver, CO) For moreinformation,please visitnnpn.org.
