Writing for Young Audiences

A conversation with Suzanne Lebeau centered around two essential questions: what do we tell children today — and how do we tell it to them? Known for her work in theatre for young audiences, Lebeau approaches children’s literature and theatre as an essential cultural and developmental practice. She also reflects on why culture — and a taste for culture — must take root in childhood, as well as on the ways writing, play, and theatre carry stories and meaning across generations.
