What’s the best first unit for a beginner drama class? - Transcript

I just wanted to write you and let you know how much we enjoyed working on "Stroke Static" this year. Several years ago I wanted to use this script for my competitive readers theatre, but the students I had at that time just didn't "get it". When I was at the STAM State convention this fall, I went to one of Lindsay Price's workshops. It brought back to memory that unique script. This year I have mature, amazing students and I again brought it out. And this year it clicked. We placed first at the Big 8 Readers Tournament, first at our MSHSAA District tournament, and this past weekend we place 2nd at the MO State Tournament. But winning was only the gravy. Every so often you find a script that challenges the actors, so much so that they are better performers for life. This is one of those scripts. And I know that many of the audience members will have a lasting memory of this lovely script. I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time with the show!

I am writing to inform you that we had produced Stressed for the Ontario Sears Drama Festival this year and our production has qualified for the Regional Showcase. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to produce the play.

I love that I can go to the theatrefolk website and find exactly what I need. You guys are my co-teacher at every school I work at.
