Addams Family has some good, hummable songs ("Pulled" comes to mind), it's newer so audiences aren't burned out on it, and it has name recognition that pulls in audiences. There are only a few risky jokes so it's well suited for a high school. And it's got a decent number of named characters so you can ...

[quote]I am looking for diverse plays for grade 10 students to read[/quote] Hi! The more contemporary the work, the better. It might be a bit too racy due to some cursing, but The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter could be a good choice. It features younger characters, forces people to think about its potential ...

https://lightingtrainer.com There is a book called the The Backstage Handbook, it has many many terms resources and diagrams, many people swear by it and few live by it. Start here. I'd also recommend Technical Theater for Nontechnical People book Don't be turned off by its title, it's a great primer ...

I use Win Movie Maker and it is pretty straight forward. I've been cutting, splicing, adding music and sound effects to my lecture and lab videos. Davinci Resolve is another good, and more professional, editing software to use if you want to learn. It's free for the basic version, but that includes ...

The Weir by Connor McPherson. Its a highly acclaimed Irish play about four men and a woman in an old pub as they tell ghost stories to each other. The play is obviously more than just ghost stories, but is one of McPherson's best. ------------------------------ Paula Gor ----------------------- ...

Hi Nick Gogol's general inspector is a large cast comedy. We performed it last year and did flexible casting on both numbers and genders. Students and audiences really loved it. Also, check out Game of Tiaras by Don Zolidis, which is a King Lear parody, and is a lot of fun. ------------------------------ ...

I'd also suggest having all get the Backstage Handbook: An Illustrated Almanac of Technical Information. It's pretty cheap, and it's one of those books you'll be using for the rest of your life if you stick to Theater. ------------------------------ Paula Gor ------------------------------
