Hello! I really enjoy the Second City Almanac of Improvisation. I think it has a lot of good philosophy about improv, and gives good reason for WHY you're doing the exercise you're doing. The biggest frustration I have with most improvisational education at the high school level is that it puts too ...

Hey All! Anybody doing Charlotte's Web in the near future? We closed our production in November and I'd be happy to sell my webs! The 6 "webs" were hung on nails across a window in the barn about 6 feet wide and work together to create the different pictures needed. We started with one simple "base" ...

I'm scheduled for Curtain Time in London next year, and I'm taking kids to NYC in a couple of weeks with EF. Last summer, I used them to take students to Greece, and I've traveled with them several times as a student too. This is absolutely a "get what you pay for group" but as a teacher who works in ...

Hello! I will be starting my very first technical theatre class in February, and I'm looking for a way to teach some minor sewing skills. My current plan is to have students sew an over-the-hanger ditty bag or organizer that my after school production students can use to keep shoes/hair ribbons/belts/costume ...

Hello! I'm having my beginning drama students work on some group scenes, but as I'm sure you're all aware, I often have a handful of special needs students in my classes as well. Does anybody have any suggestions for group scenes that will allow my students to participate, but perhaps in a smaller ...

Part of my LA10 curriculum requires students to memorize a monologue or a poem representing a character that is different from their culture. I've created a list of plays/authors that can show distinct cultures, and this may help! Good luck! Playwrights that show good cultural perspective (on ...

The Crucible Psalm

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread

We're doing the Crucible in a few weeks, and one of the scenes requires actors to sing a psalm. "The words "Jehovah" are heard in the psalm" and Betty begins to freak out in response. Any suggestions as to what psalm to use? I'm not familiar with any, and the internet hasn't been much help thus ...

Yes! I did this show last year and loved it! I added the Coneybear family as an improvised pre-show/intermission entertainment. They would interact with the audience in character and preview people for our audience "volunteers". They would also get on stage during some of Leaf's moments, and were ...

Are there any rules and regulations on attending the State Festival in a different state? I just found out that our spring musical closes the weekend of the Washington festival, but as a new teacher, I would love for my students to have the opportunity to go to a conference on that scale. I'm thinking ...

My theater group used to give out wooden picture frames with theater quotes, Thespis masks, and/or the year of the celebration. They all look great lined up along my mantle and I can put pictures in them from the event we had! ------------------------------------------- Katy Nuttman Auburn WA ...

Hello! I'll be a first year teacher in September, and have a play that opens in November. I'm looking for script suggestions! I have no idea what my talent pool is, and no way of really finding that out before I need to select a show. I've been told that there are a lot of girls and always ...
