A High School Theatre Teacher's Survival Guide

Teaching theater in high school is a challenging and rewarding job. It's also a job with unique demands and pressures: in a short amount of time, the teacher may have to design a drama department or an extracurricular program. This new book is designed to give high school theater teachers structures and answers to practical problems: how to design a program, how to deal with parents and administrators, discipline and students, choosing texts, and--crucially--a range of syllabi, forms to be used for auditions, a contract students can use in order to take part in the production, Power Point cards a teacher can copy and use for lecturer (the history of drama in a dozen Power Points, for example), as well as sample tests, contracts for students who are auditioning, grading forms, as well as simple blocking information and other technical details.
