The Folger online version of Shakespeare's texts are free to copy and use. Don't be shy about cutting whatever you want to cut. Make your own script to suit your own purpose - be fearless. My advise there is just try to maintain the purity of the scansion flow, meaning try to keep couplets together, ...

African-American all-female script

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
Does anyone have an idea for an all-female, all-African-American script? I have 6 students who want me to find a script for them, specifically. However, they do not want a "black history" script, such as a biography or historical event. It should also be a one-act. They also asked for it to be a ...

I have joined, and I've seen some GREAT course descriptions circulating around, but I haven't had the time to actually attend a course! Ugh! I'd be interested to know what the must-see courses are. I'll try to hit those first...someday...soon. ------------------------------------------- Meredith ...

I completely agree with your viewpoint on this. I'm often surprised at the performances I see/hear about at competitions. May I ask, what big productions are on your list? I am trying to build a list of show choices for a long-range plan. ------------------------------------------- Meredith ...

Being new to the school, I don't want to make any really big waves right off the bat. The general outline for the department in the past has been a small showcase of one-acts or skits in the fall and one big show in the spring. I am trying to stick to the template this year, but I would like to expand ...

If you take student groups to NYC, would you mind sharing some information about what tour group you use? Or do you make your own tour? Do you go by train or bus? Has anyone used Gerber tours for a student trip to NYC? Thanks! ------------------------------------------- Meredith Stephens ...

Any professional regional theatre near you probably has a teaching artist they would be happy to send to your school. Also try your local community college and university theatre department. ------------------------------------------- Meredith Stephens Greensboro NC ----------------------- ...

I am the only drama teacher (111 students in drama I, II, III & IV) in a relatively new high school. It is my first year in the school, and it is the first year for both the chorus and orchestra teachers. There is a band teacher, but he has his hands full with other things and is not interested in becoming ...
