Canada boasts a remarkable number of talented theatre artists; scholars; and educators. How Theatre Educates brings together essays and other contributions from members of these diverse communities to advocate for a broader and more inclusive understanding of theatre as an educative force.Organized to reflect the variety of contexts in which professionals are making; researching; and teaching drama; this anthology presents a wide range of articles; essays; reminiscences; songs; poems; plays; and interviews to elucidate the relationship between theatre practice and pedagogy; and to highlight the overriding theme: namely; that keeping education ndash; with its curriculum components of dramatic literature and theatre studies in formal school settings ndash; separate from theatre outside of the classroom; greatly diminishes both enterprises.In this volume; award-winning playwrights; directors; actors; and scholars reflect on the many ways in which those working in theatre studios; school classrooms; and on stages throughout the country are engaged in teaching and learning processes that are particular to the arts and especially genres of theatre. Situating theatre practitioners as actors in a larger socio-cultural enterprise; How Theatre Educates is a fascinating and lively inquiry into pedagogy and practice that will be relevant to teachers and students of drama; educators; artists working in theatre; and the theatre-going public.ContributorsMaja ArdalDavid BoothPatricia CanoDiane FlacksKathleen GallagherJohn GilbertSky GilbertJim GilesLinda GriffithsTomson HighwayJanice HladkiCornelia HooglandAnn-Marie MacDonaldLori McDougallJohn MurrellDomenico PietropaoloWalter PitmanRichard RoseJason ShermanLynn SlotkinLarry SwartzJudith ThompsonGuillermo VerdecchiaBelarie Zatzman

The people mentioned a fairly acurate but my family was a big part of this township and I was shocked to find there was not a word mentioned about them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SloppyBy JPHHas some interesting bits but otherwise too many errors significantly detract from this book which is surprising given the sources listed therein.
