Playwright Lou Harry and director Katherine Michelle Tanner had similar reactions when they first read the 2016 book “We Are Still Tornadoes.” They couldn’t put it down and imagined it as a play. “It was such a pleasantly and movingly digestible book, a quick read but a strong one. The movie rights also were sold but Tree Fort got permission to stage the play. Harry, who has published dozens of books and written numerous plays, said he feels like “more of a midwife of this book becoming a play. “I hope the film gets made and if it keeps the play from being staged, so be it,” he said.
