The Girl Who Hated Books
Rising Star Academy of Arts—The Playhouse Studio
What do you like to do on a rainy day? If it doesn’t involve reading then Paris is your girl. This spunky protagonist hates reading with all her might. When her cat knocks all of the characters right out of their books chaos ensues. The bright young cast from Rising Star Academy are very charming. They committed fully to the roles they were playing and delivered a few hilarious puns. While I did enjoy the show it was clearly not written for me. The play is performed by children for children. That would probably explain why I was the only twenty something without a little one at my side. There were several volume issues and I had a tough time telling what was going on at points. The story is very simple and sweet but it felt like it was better suited for Kids Fringe.
