TH 465 Children’s Theatre

This study of theory and practice in play production for child audiences explores production techniques, the interrelationship with creative dramatics and children’s literature, and the role of children’s theatre in modern education. This is a course in the multiple aspects and practices of children’s theatre in America. The course examines the theatrical conventions and structures of this distinct area of theatre. The course explores the multiple areas of children’s theatre from performance to puppetry. The course includes writing a paper on a children’s theatre or practitioner in America. The art of children’s theatre is a loss of our present inhibition and a willingness to rediscover the child within. Students discuss and explore all areas of performing for children.
