George, great article! In my District, the Theatre teachers presented this exact argument and so, starting in the fall, we have now changed the course name, Stagecraft (Tech Theatre), to LIVE PRODUCTION for the exact purpose of hooking kids not as keen to being "in Theatre". We most definitely want them ...

I showed up as the new Theatre teacher this year and started off with The Crucible.  I am soooo glad I did!  It pushed the students in directions they had never gone before and reaffirmed for them what I already suspected:  that they were capable of doing GREAT theatre.  And we pulled it off in 5 weeks.  ...

I am looking for a template or suggestions of a "performance contract" I can give to my cast for their participation in our upcoming Spring Musical.  I'm looking for a way to impart the importance of their commitment and help them to understand that everyone is important to the success ...
