Playmaking: Children Writing and Performing Their Own Plays

Playmaking is an award-winning, step-by-step account of teaching children to write, direct, and perform their own plays—as staged readings, videotapes, radio plays, and full stage productions. An exciting guide for cultivating the dramatic imagination, the book includes lesson plans, an annotated bibliography, and a glossary of theater terms.

“I love this book. It’s a great read, and it taught me a lot about playwriting, theater, and young people.”—Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides
