Theatre for Children in the United States: A History
- Used Book in Good Condition
In tracing the history of Children's Theatre, Nellie McCaslin says 'The tremendous growth and vitality of children's theatre in the twentieth century has made it a cultural force to be reckoned with.' The approach is chronological by decades, one-hundred years, from settlement-house productions at the turn of the century to modern professional companies, from fairytales to multicultural drama. Under each section the discussion is from the standpoint of sponsorship: national organizations, community centers, schools, colleges and universities, and professional theatre The expanding repertory of good drama is also examined. Children's theatre may be performed by adults or children or a combination of both, and it may be amateur or professional. This is an important book for students of theatre, producers of children's plays, their sponsors and interested individuals.
