Thank you for the replies and suggestions. I just finished casting the show and we will begin rehearsals this week. Chunking was the way I was thinking of going before I knew that's what you called it. I was calling it small groups, or centers. But that's what I'm going to do. Have group session for ...

Hello all, My school asked me to setup a grade 7-12 club on Fridays for students interested in theatre, but unable to join the elective. I ended up with 10 students.

That's a great idea, zone mic-ing. I'll see how I can arrange it. We don't "own" the theater we are using right now as we are waiting for our building to be built, so the school we borrow from literally has their audio board and equipment locked up and won't let us touch a thing. I only have 4 mics, ...

I've looked into renting or hiring an organization to come in and do our audio, but I have never been able to get a firm commitment despite frequent inquiries. Previously I had students wear these coat hangers with the mics hanging from them, but that wasn't ideal. Thank you for your suggestion though. ...

The high school performance was only presented as an in-school showing. This semester we are putting on our first full, 2-act comedy, ...

Hello community, I recently started at a new international, bilingual school teaching performing arts for grades 1-6. As the school just opened its elementary division, we've already had middle and high, I would like to put on a simple production to ease our way into this becoming a yearly or bi-yearly ...

Hello, I am currently a native English teacher at a private university affiliated elementary school in Taiwan. This year I started a drama club with my students.
