Unfortunately, Multiplay was the only free Windows-based program that I thought was halfway decent. There are a couple of paid programs out there that you could trial and see if you like - Show Cue System, SFX, or even CSC Show Control. But - if I'm honest - Qlab really is the best. I really didn't ...

I think the majority of professional members, on paper, are probably public school teachers and/or private school teachers. There are also some retired teachers/emeritus members who have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. However, some of the most active members of this forum are not current ...

Leonardtown, Maryland. Public school. Every troupe can decide for themselves what honor items to use for graduation and what their specific requirements are. I think that's a wonderful flexibility to have and can help you tailor your grad honors to fit your school. It can also sometimes make it harder ...

In my school district, the play / musical are extra-curricular activities. Students do not need to be enrolled in any course to participate and do not earn any credit for their participation. When it comes to equity and procedure, Sports are a better comparison than any curricular performing arts program. ...

THANK YOU for this!! I went looking for the Beautiful Audio Editor link to share in this thread and just got errors. I was worried it was gone. (Updating the links in my lesson plans now, lol) It should work well on Chromebooks. There is also a Chrome Extension for Audacity, but it is sooo clunky, ...

It is now dramatics.org It moved to a digital magazine format for a while, but now it is just a website. It still has great resources and articles which I use in my classroom, but there doesn't appear to be any difference for members and non-members, so I don't think it's really considered a membership ...

It's not you! lol I just went to look and can't find it either. I know it was there Monday because I used it to download the template spreadsheet and upload all of my new student details at once. It worked for me, but now it is gone. I know there were issues with the spreadsheet method last year, so ...

I believe Max has the right idea. I recently had a conversation with the folks at Broadway Licensing, who were at least open and honest about the changes. The conversation was somewhat nuanced - to respect their clients' privacy and their internal business strategies etc. - but my takeaway was that publishing ...

Update #2: Someone from Broadway Licensing reached out to have a brief discussion today and the wording on their website has already been updated to the following (to correct the potential miscommunication that it was the playwright's requirement): "Broadway Licensing requires a minimum of X Standard ...

Thanks, Don, for the reply, and for always sharing your experience in this forum. It is truly appreciated! I have done a couple of shows in the past with the print-on-demand license and, if I am remembering correctly, it was actually less expensive than buying physical scripts. I let the kids keep their ...

Thank you, Arlene, for the detailed and thoughtful response. If nothing else, your insights have given me a better understanding, which I can share with my students. I consider that a positive outcome from this experience. I am grateful for you, and the many other contributors to this forum. It is a ...

Update: I let Playscripts (Broadway Licensing) know that I intended to reach out to the author to discuss the script number/purchase requirement. Their response was: "As per my last email, the required number of scripts is per author suggestion for average cast and crew size. It is our company's requirement ...

Good Morning, Myself, and a couple of other educators, have recently run into an issue when attempting to license works through Playscripts (now owned by BroadwayLicensing). I'd like to start by acknowledging the importance of respecting the intellectual property of playwrights, particularly as we ...

My recollection is in line with Jeff's. Thespy performers are always responsible for securing performance rights. [Educational exemption only applies "in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction" (17 U.S.C. §110(1))]. That being said, many artists / rights-holders - through their publishers ...

In the past, I would cut out the stickers and put them in an envelope to hand out at the next year's induction/awards ceremony. However, a couple of years ago we started a new tradition (I got the idea from this forum!). I frame and keep the inductees' certificates until they graduate. All of the certificates ...
