Show Questions

I'm looking at starting a theater where I live. It's a big responsibility but I'm up to the task as I have always wanted to see one here. However, I'd like to know where I'm headed before I head there. I've gather some support and I want to know if we were to do a show, which MTI show would we do?I've been particularly attracted MTI's shows because: a) I'm a sucker for Disney and, b) they seem very well-put together and organized.I'm not sure how tight our budget will but from years of making costumes for some rather difficult and odd characters, I know how to work something out on a budget in that department.

Helloooo fellow theatre geeks!I've been searching for weeks and can't seem to find any good female quartet numbers for my group to perform at thespian competition. We are 4 teenage girls, mostly 3 mezzo-sopranos and 1 alto. Pretty please help me find something! Thanks :)

I want to develop a summer program for our church families which would be intergenerational. This would be a group of families and couples or single people. I envision having some team building activities, some skill building activities, and finally working on a one act play in which all ages could be involved. An example might be Aesop's Fables, animal stories, or fairy tales. Does anyone have suggestions for materials or activities that work well with a wide range of ages? There are a few in our community with experience, but mostly it will be a group of people with a wide range of abilities who want to learn about theater and want to have fun.I do have a theater background, but have been out of education for about 10 years and don't have access to the school materials I used before. Any suggestions for materials to order or plays that may work with this kind of group will be appreciated.

Hey ShowSpacers-As this community is filled with educators, I am sure many of you have been following the tragic story of Phoebe Prince, whose untimely death has aroused a red flag for those of us who work with young people. (If you need to catch up on the headlines, click here.) Of course Phoebe's all-too-early passing is not an isolated incident. We are informed of many stories throughout each year, either through this type of media blitz or our own neighbors, of young people who endure torment in our very own schools and communities. I thoroughly believe in theatre as a teaching tool, however, as I'm sure most of you do. How can we use theatre to teach kids about bullying and its consequences? What have you guys done in your schools and communities to use a theatrical experience as a teaching tool in this sense?AlissaShowBizChicago.com
