I agree with Elana on this point.    The fact Mr Gibson asked this question is showing his understanding of the change in who gets to tell the story. Yes, actors are magical beings that can be anything -- but when you look at the demographics of playwrights, directors, theater teachers, and such, we ...

Not that these are not great pieces, but I think something else might ring truer for my actors. I loved The ...

Here at our school we do both. Since the drama classes are mixed levels, they aren`t all ready for a big performance in the fall (although they do some scenes in Dec. or shows for the elementary school). So the Fall Play and the Winter One Act for competition are separate from the classes. Then in the ...
