Editorial Reviews
Review
“Provides a detailed overview of the ways in which theater techniques are used to enrich the lives of many sections of the population. . . . The book's core is excellent interviews with practitioners. . . . Students seeking information about nontraditional drama careers will find this an essential handbook; and students, teachers, and professionals in traditional theater may well find wider horizons for their own work here. Each chapter's bibliography includes films, tapes, and the names and addresses of appropriate organizations. Appendixes list specialists in the US and UK, and there is a directory of selected college programs in both countries. Highly recommended for libraries at all levels.”–Choice

A comprehensive work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Educational Drama and Theatre (Hardcover)
A comprehensive work which explains nearly every use of educational drama and theatre: who can benefit from it, how they benefit, and examples of these uses. The author references the work of many of the leaders in the field, with interviews and observations of them. It is mostly theoretical and anecdotal.
