Backstage
Betty - Grades 6-12 - This one's mostly
for laughs, but this long, shockwave-enhanced monologue does eventually
lead to an interesing quiz on theater terminology, customs, and procedures.
Might be a nice stagecraft refresher activity. Do you know what a ghost
light is??
The
Children's Theater Pages - Grades 3-8
- From Northwestern University comes this nice collection of information
and resources for those involved in children's theater activities. These
pages include performance and content resources from the U.S., Canada,
and elsewhere. There is also a section on producing for young audiences.
Creative
Drama Web Site - Grades 3-12 - Here's
a collection of practical teaching ideas and suggestions for drama teachers.
In addition to classroom ideas, there are theater games, plays, and
a bibliography. This site was created by a "real teacher,"
so the content is particularly direct and helpful.
Dramania
- Grades 4-8 - This is a quick collection
of activities for individuals or groups, coupled with a collection of
links for students, as well as a resources section for teachers and
coaches.
The
Living Playbook - Don't be deterrred by this site's less-than-perfect
screen interface. There are links to content on a wide variety of topics,
as well as a good bit of original content.
Theater
Education Resources - Grades 6-12 - The
Artslynx Theater Resources page offers information on a really comprehensive
range of theater topics, from acting to mime to theater history. If
you're searching for resources on a specific topic, we suggest starting
here.
