Literature to Life adapts F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work as their newest title in their Signature Performance series!
The Great Gatsby takes place on Long Island and New York City in the early twentieth century, at the height of the Jazz Age and the Prohibition Era. The novel touches on the treatment of different social classes: “old money” versus “new money” ideology, gender, race, environmentalism, and the price of the American Dream.
Based on the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Adapted and directed by Kelvin Grullon. Performed by Bryce Foley.

LITERATURE TO LIFE (LTL) is a performance-based literacy program that presents professionally staged verbatim adaptations of American literary classics. LTL’s mission is to perform great books that inspire young people to read and become authors of their own lives. LTL was founded more than three decades ago as the educational program of the American Place Theatre. Now an independent organization, this mighty collective of artists and educators brings the voices of diverse authors to thousands of students and audiences nationwide, giving them the tools to become the empowered “voices worth hearing” of our future.
