The Backstagers and the Theater of the Ancients

(3) 4-6 Backstagers series. Illustrated by Rian Sygh. While battling Greek theater purists, the backstage theater crew at St. Genesius Prep faces personal and supernatural challenges in this boundary-pushing series based on the Backstagers comics. The Backstagers here explore equity, diversity, and inclusion as they put on a show about a Deaf girl featuring, for the first time, a Deaf girl as the lead. Cartoon-style monochromatic spot illustrations add humor and distinguish the characters.
