Things Left in Books
A musical exploration of lost stories.
A Homegrown Independent's Program Production
#What’s left behind when a book is closed?
Things Left In Books is an enchanting new show that breathes life into forgotten relics, lost moments, and stories that live on.
This captivating production is built on stories submitted by the local community. It celebrates the funny, odd, poignant, beautiful or surprising items between the pages of books—ticket stubs, old photographs, receipts, unsent letters, and more. They tell their own stories long after the final chapter has been read.
Be swept up in stories as found objects are transformed into song. This musical exploration brings together The Accidentals, a group of powerhouse singers and musicians who will perform moving, layered arrangements, telling the stories of the keepsakes left behind and the books that move us.
Through soaring harmonies and trumpet fanfares, the show transports audiences into the intimate worlds of those who unknowingly left pieces of themselves behind.
Come and be part of the story.
