In addition to our extensive reach in the New York City area, our national expansion is stronger than ever.

This month, The American Place Theatre attended our first Arts Midwest conference in Minneapolis, MN where we were among approximately 1000 theatre professionals from the Midwest Region and beyond. Our Literature to Life performance of Khaled Hosseini's novel, The Kite Runner, was chosen out of almost 400 exhibitors to be 1 of just 18 juried showcases to present at the conference. Solid new relationships were built, and Literature to Life is poised for partnerships in four new Midwestern states (Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri) based on our interactions at this inspiring event.
