Hi Ken. I am praying for you, your student and your entire community. Please let me know if your school will accept donations to help offset the cost of your production that you needed to cancel. And also, if your student needs financial help medically I would like to help. We are all in this together ...

RE: Female Jesus in Godspell

Hello. Two years ago I did Godspell for the second time and this time around I decided to use a female Jesus because the best person for the part was a girl. She was a very strong Christian, and just so you know I am a practicing Christian as well. Her parents were a little concerned because they are ...

You might want to consider Godspell.  The first time I did it was with 32 students and the second time I only had 16 students. I cast a female as Jesus the second time as she was truly the best one for the part. Both shows and concepts were completely different and both very moving yet so fun and joyful. ...

I loved directing Letters to Sala a couple years ago. It was very well received and very moving. It would be poignant for your group to perform but it is not a comedy - the holocaust is the main subject. It’s based on a true story and the real Sala recently passed away. Very powerful. Also, I had ...

We are doing Shrek in February and renting all the costumes from the The Theatre Company in Upland. We haven't seen them yet but they have a photo gallery on line. They look good :) ------------------------------ Pauline Maranian Costa Mesa CA ------------------------------

​Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies. I do wish to be a successful improv teacher, but as this was thrown at me I don't feel qualified. I feel I am doing the kids a disservice. I would really like to take a class refreshing my skills and while the books are excellent resources, learning the ...

Hello fellow educators. For 18 years our school had SSR - Sustained Silent Reading. Basically, on block days, those kids would meet an extra half hour before class officially started to read from a book of their liking in hopes to raise our school's overall reading score (many students read below their ...

Help for a small cast show

Hello everyone. I have a unique group of kids this year - maybe 3 guys (none of whom are the leading man type) and maybe 8-10 girls. I don't have to cast all the girls. I really thought the process of picking a smaller cast would be simpler but I'm having such a hard time given my unique demographic. ...

Hi.  I did Letters to Sala last fall and it was very successful.  Very heavy female cast - not much to showcase in way of males, but provides ample opportunity for extracurricular learning about the holocaust. We had a lovely experience.  If you'd like more information on it please let me know. True ...
