		<description><![CDATA[Upstage/Downstage: Why? One of the first lessons that I teach young performers is how to take direction and move across stage. When I say young performers, I am typically referring to elementary school students. However, anyone who is new to the rehearsal process, regardless of age, needs to be able to recognize basic theatrical lingo &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shakespeare The following noteworthy speech is from “Hamlet.”  In it, Hamlet provides acting instruction to a troop of performers who have agreed to present a play that is intended to expose Hamlet’s step-father as a murderer.  Despite the intense given circumstances, this speech offers excellent advice to  all actors.  Through the character of Hamlet, Shakespeare &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Monday Blues is a very real part of life in the theater whether you just appeared in your elementary school production of Cinderella or just completed a tour of Wicked. Monday Blues refers to the Monday that immediately follows the final performance (or “closing weekend”) of a show’s run. Mondays are typically “dark” days &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction A theater director’s job, at the very minimum, is to manage every aspect of a theatrical production. A director should be willing to and capable of collaborating with everyone participating in the project including designers, actors, engineers and stage managers. A director spends a lot of time in production meetings and even more time &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many ways in which participation in theater can encourage reading. Educational standards in reading comprehension, fluency, phonics and vocabulary instruction are all reinforced when an early reader participates in a script-based (as opposed to improvisational) theatrical production. Typically, when play rehearsals begin, students are given a script and asked to work on and &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all heard a lot about positive and negative attention and positive and negative reinforcement. It basically boils down to: punish the bad behavior, reward the good behavior. But punishing kids isn’t always effective and sometimes a gold star just isn’t enough.

		<description><![CDATA[I like to start all my classes by teaching a little something about Pantomime. Pantomime is, quite simply, acting without words. Most beginning actors will draw a connection between Pantomime and charades. This is a good place to start. In charades, just like Pantomime, we are challenged to use our bodies, gestures and facial expressions &#8230;]]></description>
