I am by no means a copyright expert, but I've been reading "for your consideration" screenplays for several years now. Film producers make them available online in the months leading up to the Oscars for the convenience of Oscar voters. Some screenplays are clearly labelled that they are free to download. ...

If memory serves, in that scene she flips him, not flips him off. When I directed this (years ago), we had Brian do a standing front roll as he passed Beth who, at the last minute, turned her back to the audience. She did quite a bit of "back acting" to make it look like she was throwing him. As with ...

Before you buy Vector works, check their website. You might be able to obtain the program and a license for free as an educator. Your students might be able to get it for free as well. Not sure if this is still true, but at one time it was. ------------------------------------------- Bob Ramseur ...

This past year, my third year women produced Ellen McLaughlin's "The Trojan Women." The cast was made up of 15 women and 2 men. Most of the women were chorus, but they had absolutely lovely poetry to divide and recite. The class fell in love with the script on first read. Playscripts carries it. I ...

I'm very much with Jessica on this issue. The current trend sure does seem to be toward promoting AP Courses at the expense of every other course in a high school. I'm seeing my best and brightest steered away from theatre courses and toward AP courses that may or may not have anything to do with their ...
