Skip also loves theater.
He has been directing and woorking at local community theaters since 1991. He's also been one of the directors for a local youth theater program for the past 15 years.
In 2022, skip was lucky enough to be asked to be the visiting author at his own school!
He spent the day talking to the students about his process and embracing the edit. The school blew up the pages of his book, If I Had A Gift to poster size and QR codes were added. The QR codes went to videos of Skip reading that particular page!
The students took iPads and did a book walk, using the QR codes to watch videos of Skip reading to them.
It was a blast and a perfect combination of books and technology.
