Hello! I teach at an all-girls high school, and it's time to pick some scenes for end-of-semester scene work. I would appreciate any scene suggestions for women from plays (not scene books) that would be appropriate for teens. I am not worried about language. I want something they can really sink their ...

Sorry, William! I would be happy to have you buy them. Right now they are in our loft and we are about to go on break. I will get them down and see if they would be worth it to send. I wouldn't take them apart. Jenni

Hi, Bill! I have not rented out of state but I am happy to look into it for you. Frankly, I don't see using them in the foreseeable future, so if you would like to have them shipped and perhaps pay for the wood to construct them, they are yours! Let me know.

Hello, Allison. Thank you for your response. It is difficult to pick just one of these options/events. My students loved the whole experience of ThesFest! From the raucous welcome upon entering the building, getting situated in our own "green room" to the many workshops taught by professionals, one-act ...

Hello, Stan. I echo all of the suggestions and sentiments here and also add that I think it's important to have some kind of conversation with your students, actors, and community about this. I teach/direct at a diverse all-girls high school and have learned so much from really listening to my students. ...

Hello! . I am thinking about Directing The Misanthrope for my high school-aged Ensemble students. What are your favorite translations/adaptations? I don't care for the Wilbur one because it misses the feel of the original meter for me. Thanks in advance for your ideas! ------------------------------ ...

Thank you, Gai! As someone with 30 + years of experience teaching, performing, and directing, I find that I have to continually prove myself with every contract renewal. "They" need to be reminded that we do "more than just put on plays," really resonated with me. I am now writing a course proposal ...

Melinda, I do not have a video to share but I do remember we had a loan of a real jukebox from a nearby novelties shop. Our booth was made on a wagon by our set designer. I think she had the booth seats already made from another show she had TD for at Williams College. I do remember it was a fun show! ...

Thank you! Huge help. This is a one-semester class, so my thought was to have the process end and culminate with a showing of 10-15 minute scenes from plays. Any ideas for which plays to suggest?  I want them to choose a well-written play from a well-known playwright so that they can gather enough dramaturgical ...
