At The Human Race Theatre Company, we love a good story and sometimes, the best way to get into the heart of one is not just by watching it unfold on stage, but by curling up with a book that scratches that same itch. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with the Dayton Metro Library for our upcoming production of Dad’s Place!
Much like the show itself, this curated booklist from the library is full of humor, heart, and a touch of chaos; the kind of reads that dig into family, identity, and the complicated, quirky love between fathers and children. Whether you’re the kind of person who flips straight to the last page or you savor every word slowly, these titles are the perfect way to deepen your Dad’s Place experience.
May we suggest?

Big thanks to our friends at Dayton Metro Library for building this list and always reminding us that the stories we tell live well beyond the stage.
