I had a hard time answering your last question. I wasn't sure if you meant a class for students or for the staff. The school does have a Stagecraft class offered, but it is currently a work in progress and is a general overview of stagecraft. It's not an in-depth safety and techniques curriculum right ...

I'm trying to create a series of months for our bulletin board that moves us through different focus areas based on the "heritage of the month" celebrated nationally. This is an ongoing project I might have to let percolate another school year while I gather resources and objects for the board. I've ...

I don't know about posters, but there are some pretty fine shots on the FB page for Original Practice Shakespeare in Portland, OR. (Full disclosure, I'm one of their summer SMs.) They are a happily inclusive company representing many different genders as well as actively adding BIPOC actors. You can ...

I'd definitely be reading the manuals or the devices themselves for all that ...

Hi!  For my outdoor summer Shakespeare gig, we have used these types of trees, with a sandbag holding the feet on the ground.  We set these up for each performance, since we travel from park to park.  The lights you have there will be great for a general wash of the stage.  If this is the same tree we ...
