    Hi everyone,

    I've started teaching a theatre history class at my high school. I've been using material I've obtained in college, but the problem is that I can't find a good textbook that's at a high school level. Any recommendations?

    I use Theatre: A Way of Seeing for my juniors, which is a fairly good intro-level book. I use Drama: Classical to Contemporary with my seniors, which is more like a college-level drama anthology with a history chapter at the beginning of each unit. I also use Types of Drama as a reference and for discussion questions. Theatre: Art in Action (https://www.amazon.com/Theatre-Action-THEATRE-ARTS-ACTION/dp/0844253073/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=theatre+art+in+action&qid=1556712136&s=gateway&sr=8-3) covers a wide variety of topics and has lots of fun activities, but that's more geared toward acting and design than history.
