Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead Gets the Story Builder Treatment
 The Berkeley Rep School of Theatre and Target Story Builders are coming to the Library to show kids how a theatrical production comes together.

To be sure, this is will not be an unfortunate event - though the composer, whose demise is foretold in the play's title, may beg to differ.
