Send us a textBefore the World Premiere of her play, Georgia and the Butch, playwright Carolyn Gage streamed into the Playwright's Spotlight. As happens with most episodes lately we explore something new about the craft and delve into the documentary play, in this case the relationship between Georgia O'Keefe and Maria Chabot. We discuss framing and censorship, theatre critics, creative license. We also chat about her experience approaching musicals and adaptations, the purpose and rules of a song, her journey into playwriting, the lessons of structure from Bernard Gerbanier, satisfying your audience, the benefits of complex dialogue and resting your cards, and collaborating with your audience. Carolyn was also generous enough to offer anyone a free pdf of any work in her catalog if you mention this episode of Playwright's Spotlight. I hope you'll take her up on the opportunity. Enjoy!Georgia and the Butch opens at The Tank in New York City on February 25th through March 12th.

The house in Harrisville, Rhode Island is not clean. In fact it's filthy, lousy with supernatural yuck. That's bad news for whoever inhabits it, and no one's going to have it worse than the Perrons—father Roger (Ron Livingston), mother Carolyn (Lili Taylor), and their five daughters. When the otherworldly rumblings get out of hand, who they gonna call? In this case, it's the OG Ghostbusters, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). To say what happens next would be a spoiler, and we don't do that without a warning. But after our forays into James Wan's Dead Silence and Insidious, allow us to say that The Conjuring is a cool breath of delightfully fetid air.

When one door closes,...well, you know how the saying goes. And the two people with me in studio live by it. A couple of weeks ago, Theatre Newfoundland Labrador concluded its youth theatre program in Corner Brook. Now, Adam Brake and Allison Crowe have opened a door on a whole new endeavor for young and old alike. It's called "Open Door Theatre."

Since 1979, Theatre Newfoundland Labrador has helped young people gain confidence and learn what it was like to be on stage. But the professional theatre company in Corner Brook will no longer be offering the Sara...h MacDonald Youth Theatre program, at least for the time being. The organization is putting even more of its focus on its new facility in Cow Head, the Nurse Myra Bennett Centre for the Performing Arts. Pamela Gill is the chair of TNL.

I have never met an early childhood educator that could not relate to feeling lost when introducing young learners to new concepts. It starts with a glazed-over look of confusion and slowly moves around the classroom as each child checks out! We've all been there - that is unless your name is Art Aviña. Art brings some of our favorite books and hard to teach subjects to life through Theatre, and his results are as magical as the short films he creates with his students. Art's self-taught theater skills have given him a unique insight into how stories can be made more engaging for young learners. He shares his strategies. In this episode, Art talks about what it takes to make an audience stay engaged, interested, and most importantly, comprehend the lessons we teach them. Episode Highlights: [00:01:15] The Morning Meeting Song [00:04:10] Get to know L.A. Early Childhood Educator Art Aviña and learn how looking at teaching through the Lens of Theatre opened a whole new world for this educator. [00:06:27] Ever wondered what a Theatre Program would look like in your elementary school? Art walks us through the framework of his program. [00:07:39] Do you think you don't have the creativity to introduce Theatre into your classroom? Think again, Art shares why all Early Childhood Educators are performers. [00:09:46] How can improv help students with comprehension? Art walks us through an example using some of our favorite storybooks. [00:13:15] Introducing new ways of teaching isn't always received, but Art's feedback has been mostly positive. He describes why here. [00:16:15] The older we get, the harder it becomes to play; Art and I discuss using theatre principles for comprehension with older children. Connect With Art Aviña. InstagramTic TokThe Morning Meeting Podcast is a community for early education teachers.

It's our Summer Theatre Grand Finale, AND the last episode of Season 3! What better way to end it than with the summer theatre favorite, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream? From sources for the play, to its film adaptations and broader influence in media and literature (yes, including Twilight), Midsummer has had a big impact on pop culture. We also discuss our dream cast for a (hypothetical) new film adaptation (visit our Instagram for the full cast list), and, as is our tradition, reveal our results of the “which character are you” quiz!

We just got back from Ren Faire and we're ready to talk about our favorite musical based on Arthurian legends! (Well, tied for favorite with Spamalot...) We're talking about Camelot, the Lerner and Loewe 1960 musical, its 1967 film adaptation, and the novel it was adapted from, T. H. White's The Once and Future King. How did the culture and politics of the 1960s interact with this musical? How did earlier versions of the stories of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table influence the show, apart from White's novel? And did Walt Disney really invent prequels? This was also a great opportunity to talk about how much we loved The Green Knight, and other adaptations, retellings, and echoes of Arthurian legends in current pop culture.

Why do Hollywood movies love giving female characters makeovers as a substitute for character development? Well, it may just have something to do with Pygmalion... This week for Summer Theatre Program we discuss the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion and its musical adaptation, Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady, as well as the Greek myth that inspired both. From the story's deeply misogynistic roots, we wonder, is there a possibility for a positive, transformative retelling? We also look at some of our favorite pieces of media that were strongly influenced or inspired by the play, like She's All That, Love Don't Cost A Thing, the musical Dogfight, and the tragically short-lived sitcom Selfie.

We made a deal with a devil this week to talk about Christopher Marlowe's 1592 play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. The core premise of this play is so pervasive in current media and storytelling that there's even a name for it: a "Faustian Bargain." Our discussion touches on the life of Marlowe himself and early theater productions of the play, its source material in Goethe and others' Faust tales, as well as the echoes and references to this monomythic story throughout literature and media. These echoes range from Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, to DC and Marvel comics, to children's media like Disney's The Little Mermaid and the Animaniacs, to current popular fiction like V. E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, to, of course, Star Wars.

Next up for Summer Theatre Program is Oscar Wilde's comedy of manners The Importance of Being Earnest! We discuss the few productions of the play we've seen, and also why we think there aren't very many adaptations and retellings of this particular play, despite its relative popularity. Recent years have seen new interpretations of the play through the lenses of race, sexuality, and class, and we touch on the queer coding in the title and throughout the text, as well as how setting the story in different eras changes its meanings. We also look at the gems Wilde gave to the world through this work, like the dad joke the entire play is built around, and the best friend to all who wish to avoid social engagements: Bunbury.

Good Morrow and welcome to the Summer Theatre Program! We're coming in hot with a discussion of the world's favorite romantic tragedy, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We break down some popular adaptations and retellings of the play, from the modern take with Leo and Claire Danes, to West Side Story, to Gnomeo and Juliet, to the YA fantasy novel These Violent Delights. Then we look at some of our favorite references to R&J in pop culture, like the episode of Gilmore Girls where Rory played Juliet, and the greatest song ever written, Taylor Swift's “Love Story.” We also muse about which social media apps a modern Romeo and Juliet would use (Juliet = Tumblr; Romeo = Reddit).

You too can fundraise for your program without losing your time or your mind! Show Notes Google form for Auditions Winter Coffee House Poster Spring Coffee House Poster Episode Transcript Welcome to the Drama Teacher Podcast brought to you by Theatrefolk – the Drama Teacher Resource Company. I'm Lindsay Price. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening! This is Episode 196 and you can find any links to this episode in the show notes which are at Theatrefolk.com/episode196. Today, we are going to talk about fundraising, specifically fundraising for your program without losing time or your mind because that's the thing I think where fundraising can get into a real bumpy road. It's the thing that everybody wants to do. But, if it just eats up your time and makes you go a little crazy, that's not good for anybody. Our guest does a particular fundraiser twice a year and it's very successful for her. It's an awesome, low-cost, low-key event. I think, instead of me just talking about it, we should get to the conversation. Let's get to it! LINDSAY: Hello, everyone! I am here talking with Ellen Miller. Hello, Ellen! ELLEN: Hello! How are you? LINDSAY: I'm awesome! Thank you so much! And you? How are you? ELLEN: I'm great! I'm fantastic! LINDSAY: Well, you can't ask for more than that. That's the best. I'd like to start by just asking if you would tell everybody where in the world you are situated right now? ELLEN: I am in Dallas, Texas. I teach in Plano which is just north of Dallas and I teach at a ninth through tenth grade high school in Plano. LINDSAY: Oh. So, you only deal with grade nines and tens? ELLEN: I do, yeah. It's kind of a different situation in my city. LINDSAY: Yeah, what is that like? Do your students get drama in middle school? ELLEN: They do. We have theatre in sixth grade through, well, seventh grade and eighth grade at our middle schools and then the sixth graders can participate in the shows at the middle school level. In ninth and tenth grade, we have a full technical theatre course offering and theatre course offerings. I teach Technical Theatre I and II and Advanced Technical Theatre class. We have kind of a full range of offerings at our ninth and tenth grade level. LINDSAY: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. And then, they go off to eleventh and twelfth. Do you miss not getting them in eleven and twelve or do you like where you are? ELLEN: I like where I am. You kind of get the best of both worlds. The sophomores still get to kind of take on a leadership position and you get to really see them grow over two years and then it's cool because we do a lot with our eleventh and twelfth grade school. We call them senior highs here. It's cool to see them grow in an even bigger theatre situation in the eleventh and twelfth grade. LINDSAY: I would imagine in that situation that leadership really is much different than if you're in a nine through twelve school because, if you're in grade ten, you are the senior of your school and you have to sort of – I don't know if “mature” is the right word but you're it! ELLEN: Yeah, I have ten officers for my theatre department and they do everything from running warmups during our rehearsals, they plan events for other students, they do the announcements for our school, and they do a lot of building community within our theatre department and things like that. LINDSAY: Well, I think that's really awesome. How long have you been a drama teacher? ELLEN: This is my eighth-year teaching theatre. LINDSAY: What connects you to being a drama teacher? Did you like it in high school? ELLEN: Yeah, I actually started theatre in about fifth grade with a program we used to have called Odyssey of the M...

Episode 146: A Gender conversation….and Pirates Steven is a long time Theatrefolk playwright, and in his latest play The Dread (Playwright) Pirate Sadie, the majority of characters are girl pirates. And in the world of the play, this is the norm. In this podcast we talk gender and how we can create a safe environment for students to own who they are, embrace who they are and stand up for who they are. Being human is challenging and uncomfortable at times. How do you create a communicative accepting community? Show Notes The Dread (Playwright) Pirate Sadie The Bottom of the Lake Ashland Falls She Wrote, Died, Then Wrote Some More   Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP – The Theatrefolk Podcast – the place to be for Drama teachers, Drama students, and theatre educators everywhere. I'm Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening! Ho ho ho! This is Episode 146! You can find any links for this episode in the show notes at theatrefolk.com/episode146. You know, sometimes, I throw those things in and I think I'm probably the only one laughing. I am the one laughing. I amuse myself. What can I say? All right. Today, we're talking gender and pirates, of course. This is a lovely conversation with a lovely human being, Steven Stack. Steven has a number of plays with us which I will put in the show notes and I'm going to mention them in the interview and I'm going to talk about them in THEATREFOLK NEWS so I've got you covered. You are covered talking about Steven. Steven works at a studio where they do a summer camp and the participants are mostly girls so that's who he writes for. What I think is just marvelous is that he doesn't really worry about “these are the girl parts and then these are the guy parts.” It's “these are the good parts.” We start with pirates in this conversation and journey into things a lot deeper. So, won't you join me? Let's get into it. LINDSAY: All right. I am thrilled and pleased as punch to be talking to Steven Stack. Hello, Steven! STEVEN: Hi Lindsay! LINDSAY: How are you today? STEVEN: I am fantastic. How about you? LINDSAY: I am also… I'm… I'm very… Fantastic! Let's go there! Yes, I'm fantastic! I was pulling back from it and then I'm like, “No, no…” STEVEN: I'm glad you committed to it. LINDSAY: I committed. STEVEN: I had some doubts for a while. I was like, “Wait! She's going in a different direction.” LINDSAY: Yeah, she was waffling and then, no, she went. She went for it! STEVEN: Well done! You made a bold choice! Good stuff! LINDSAY: I think we can end things now, can't we? That was it. We're both fantastic. That's the end of the podcast. All right. Steven, of course, is one of our lovely Theatrefolk playwrights. We have a number of plays – The Bottom of the Lake and She Wrote, Died, and Wrote Some More and we have a relatively new play which is lovely – the lovely playwright writing the lovely play – which is the Dread Pirate/Playwright Sadie. The thing that is the most remarkable thing about this play, and the thing that was the thing that really enticed us about it and really made us excited about it is that it is a pirate play where the majority of the pirates are played by girls, right? STEVEN: Absolutely! LINDSAY: Absolutely. STEVEN: And it was always intended that way, too. LINDSAY: Let's talk about that for a second. The thing we're talking about today, we're talking about gender and we're talking about how we can maybe chill out about gender but pirates are something that are so stereotypically boys and I just love that you wrote it for girls. Tell me about that. STEVEN: Well, first, when I had the idea for it, one of the main reasons they were girls was because the majority of my acting class at that point were all girls so I was like, “Well, it makes complete sense.” LINDSAY: It makes sense. STEVEN: But then,
