This 2nd edition has been updated to be gender-neutral, better organized, and include modern technology and social media. Even better, the Student Workbook is just that... an individual workbook for each student, loose-leaf, three-hole-punched, and ready to drop into a binder. We've designed this book to fit the budgetary considerations of schools, making it available at a fraction of the price of other Theatre 1 textbooks.We retained all the elements that made the first edition of this book a top-selling theatre arts curriculum text year after year. You'll still find the daily bell work, fun puzzles, and quizzes and tests that you've come to rely on to make classroom management more effortless. This classroom-tested, year-long curriculum covers the entire spectrum of theatre: theatre history, scene work, acting, characterization, publicity, play production, games and improvisations, and more. It is designed to help teachers organize and energize their Theatre 1 class, engaging students in learning by doing.The second edition of the Teacher's Guide is also better laid out, with the notes to the teacher now appearing alongside the corresponding student page. No more flipping back and forth between pages! Four additional sections in the Teacher's Guide make this student-friendly text also very teacher-friendly: teaching tools, evaluation tools, production tools, and tests and projects.

Written especially for those who coach tween and teenage actors, this delightfully fresh workbook tells you the how, when, what, and why of theatre games for young performers. Starter scenes allow first-time performers to ease onto the stage in baby steps. Spontaneity is encouraged along with etiquette and basic acting principles. The concepts of pantomime, improvisation, character development, voice, and body control are all presented in game formats with exercises. Nine chapters include: Before You Begin, Preparing, Starter Scenes, Exercises, Games, Improvisation, Pantomime, Non-Acting Theatre Games and Activities, and Developing Your Program, plus an Activities Index. Anyone working with young actors will find this theatre book exceptionally helpful, and you'll love that it's written by Suzi Zimmerman, author of the best-selling Introduction to Theatre Arts.
