'Books Alive' (high school) program involving drama

[Doris Rizzutto <DRIZZUT@LSUVM.SNCC.LSU.EDU>]

This group was so helpful to me last semester for my 'Battle of the Books'
program.  I need your help with my last major project for this semester.
I am working on a programming plan for a high school library where the
students create original portrayals of characters from YA fiction using
oral interpretation and improvisation.  Can any of you give me insight
or leads to someone who can on this? - Like listing of YA novels used
and any instructional video titles to use with young adults?
I have sent this query to national organizations involving drama/
theatre; English; and reading by using The Encyclopedia of Associations.
I have already done a Lib. Lit. database search.  I will talk to
several Drama dept. heads at some of the local high schools here.  The
Baton Rouge Little Theater Actor's Workshop will be another good local
source for me to contact.
I appreciate any input this group can give me, too.
Thank you in advance.
