Description

The curtain rises on Theatre and Youth; volume 23 of Theatre Symposium with keynote reflections by Suzan Zeder; the distinguished playwright of theatre for youth; and presents eleven original essays about theatrersquo; s reflections of youth and the role of young people in making and performing theatre. The first set of essays draws from robustly diverse sources: the work of Frank Wedekind in nineteenth-century Germany; Peter Panrsquo; s several stage incarnations; Evgeny Shvartsrsquo; s antitotalitarian plays in Soviet Russia; and Christopher Marlowersquo; s Dido; Queen of Carthage; whose depictions of childhood comment on both the classical period as well as Marlowersquo; s own Elizabethan age. The second part of the collection explores and illustrates how youth participate in theatre; the cognitive benefits youth reap from theatre practice; and the ameliorating power of theatre to help at-risk youth. These essays show fascinating and valuable case studies of; for example; theatre employed in geography curricula to strengthen spatial thinking; theatre as an antidote to youth delinquency; and theatre teaching Latinos in the south strategies for coping in a multilingual world. Rounding out this exemplary collection are a pair of essays that survey the state of the art; the significance of theatre-for-youth programming choices; and the shifting attitudes young Americans are bringing to the discipline. Eclectic and vital; this expertly curated collection will be of interest to educators and theatre professionals alike.
