The scenic natural vistas of Arizonas deserts and mountains have made it a favorite backdrop of movies and television shows. Westerns such as silent-era pictures derived from Zane Grey fiction through the John Ford-John Wayne classics "Stagecoach "and "The Searchers "benefited from the beautiful and rugged landscapes. TV classics such as "Gunsmoke" and "Little House on the Prairie" helped define Arizonas allure for Hollywood. Oscar winners "Jerry Maguire" and "Little Miss Sunshine "took advantage of the infrastructure that accumulated to lure filmmakers to Tucson; Yuma; Phoenix; Prescott; Sedona and all corners of the Grand Canyon State". Join author Lili DeBarbieri as she looks at the movies and shows shot in the state; as well as other aspects of Arizona film culture.

KelloggI used some of the exercises in this book for my boys group; consisting of 1/2 kids on the Autism Spectrum and the other half are kid with ADHD and emotional difficulties. All of the boys loved the exercises. HOwever; I have two kids on the spectrum; who have been reluctant to participate in past activities; but after a few minutes of watching the other kids perform the skits; they begged to take part. It was so exciting to see their enthusiasm and willingness to participate. I cant wait to continue using this activities in the book for future sessions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great starting place for a drama newbieBy That GuyAnother teacher recommended this book when I was given an Intro to Theater class for life skills students to teach. With no drama background; this seemed like a daunting (impossible?) task. Using this and Teaching Aspergers Students Social Skills Through Acting: All Their World Is a Stage! I ended up using activities straight from the book as warmups; and also I created some of my own after gaining my stride. We ended up putting on a full length play by the end! I would not have had that success without the help of these books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
