Teaching Theatre Woordle

WOW!!! I always enjoy your newsletters, but the Death of a Salesman analysis, questions and activities has been my absolute favorite so far! Thank you so much for this in-depth look at a play I am teaching next quarter. I will be using most of your newsletter in my class. I love the discussion questions, activities, all of it! Thank you so much for your help - it can be hard to teach the same plays year after year and make them exciting, no matter how good they are, and it is so helpful to get something new. I'm looking forward to the next months' newsletters, as I have taught all of the "big 3" Miller plays at some point in my theatre teacher career. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I am directing Censorbleep and just wanted to say how much I LOVE this show. My cast and crew are really getting into it. Thank you so very much for this show! Thank you again for having grade A plays for me and my kids! :)

I wanted to let you know that we just finished our production of School Daze. My middle school students performed it at an in-school assembly (audience was K-8) and it was wildly popular. The staff and parents loved it was well. I had several people who stopped by to tell me that they particularly loved how "real" the play was. Characters like Marty/Edwin, MacGregor/MacDougal and Cara/Tammy allowed my students to go full out with characterization. Thank you for stocking plays like this - large and flexible casting, lots of short scenes, quick and active, with content that doesn't talk down to my students. These plays are hard to come by, especially with content appropriate for a public middle school.
