Hi! I am looking to amp up my leadership in my troupe for next year. I have all new officers and want to start their year off successfully! Does anyone here ever have a summer officer retreat?

Disguises Costumes made a transformation dress for me. It's STUNNING and easy for the actress to do herself without help. This is an amazing company that I've worked with for the past 4 years. Sent from my iPhone

This sounds fantastic! I was actually thinking of adding a touring children's show for my level 4 students. This will be the first year I have enough students to have an entire class of level 4's as a class itself without being combined with my level 3's. Our school is on a semester schedule. How ...

LOVE LOVE LOVE these suggestions! Thanks so much! I'm actually also looking at To Kill a Mockingbird, which TROY PETERS, if you read this, you and your students inspired me to look at this show!

Wow guys. I can't thank all of you enough for all of the support you've shown myself and my students over the past few months as we've dealt with our flooding situation. We are slowly rebuilding our school and our homes but it has proved to be a larger task than first anticipated. We are still ...

Wow! I started to respond to some of you individually, and then I've been pulled back into survival mode, as I'm trying to assist fellow teachers, students, and my elderly father who have lost their homes. Our district is working quickly to find a temporary solution to house us in another school until ...

I just have to give a shout-out to Disguises Costumes! I found them on the internet this spring and used them to rent costumes for my Pride and Prejudice show. The cost of each costume was much lower than I expected and each costume included a hat and gloves!! They were also a higher quality than I was ...

I can say that I've been a member of DTA since September (out of my own pocket) and I feel I have gotten much more than just resources from Theatrefolk. The support, communication, as well as the PLC sessions alone to me are worth my monthly payment. In a two person dept in south Louisiana where sports ...

RE: Jumpstart 21/High School Theatre Certification Test

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread

Thespian Troupe induction route is a no go. I've tried it. The state won't accept it for two reasons: first being that I'm the one approving the induction, which is too subjective and they require a person or assessment outside of the school to conduct the evaluation (which would be impossible for that) ...

Jumpstart 21/High School Theatre Certification Test

My state is implementing a program called Jumpstart 21. Essentially, it's for elective courses and, according to my understanding to date, in order for the state to keep "supporting" your elective, it must conclude with some type of test/certification in your area of study. For example, at the end of ...
