Fun Freetime: Outta the Books

 StorySongs, featuring an international team of musicians, producers and actors, recently launched a multi-platform entertainment series "Outta The Books." The first video chapter debuts on YouTube tomorrow, and a cast recording featuring new and original songs from the StorySongs series are available around the English-speaking world today on a variety of music platforms, including Spotify.

Originally set for its theatrical debut at the 2020 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the StorySongs creative team pivoted once the pandemic hit, and it is now an entirely virtual multimedia experience for kids and families.

"Outta The Books" harnesses the power of music, the most universal of communicators, to tell simple, time-tested and meaningful tales, one StorySong at a time. Characters inspired by familiar fairy tales and fables come to life as they keep stories alive through song. 

StorySongs and "Outta The Books" are the brain children of award-winning composer and producer 
Brian Banks. Banks assembled an accomplished cast of theatre actors, including star Karl Queensborough (“C Major,” who comes from a line of Big Bad Wolves) and Carl Spencer (Prince Pollywig) from the current cast of the London production of “Hamilton. Others on the team are based in Britain, Italy, Canada and the United States.
