Does anyone know of any books or resources on traverse or alley staging, where the audience sits on only 2 sides of a long narrow stage space?

I recently discovered a great new play, Alabama Story, by Kenneth Jones. It was just published by Dramatists (now Broadway Licensing). It involves censoring a children's book called The Rabbits' Wedding (a story of a marriage between a black and a white rabbit - you can imagine the "fireworks"). The ...

I have a capable student assistant director who will take charge for me, and I will have about 5 weeks of rehearsal when I return. Can anyone offer suggestions for the kinds of activities/exercises that a student ...

My favorite winter play is "A Christmas Carol." There are so many versions of it. There is a wonderful story theatre version of it that Paul Sills wrote. It's in a collection of Story Theater plays called: Paul Sills' Story Theater: Four Shows. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." ...

Thank you, Bernard. Giving students (yes, even college students) background of the "N" word is a great idea. And yes, I trust this playwright and the original author of the book. I know that this was not a careless inclusion. You've made some really good points. ------------------------------ Stanley ...

Thank you, C. J., for your reply. I think that the play would lose power without the word also. I did plan to keep the word and the play. I just didn't know how to respond to those who felt uncomfortable. And I will definitely take your advice about warning the audience about the use of the "N" word. ...
