Putting On a Show
Theater for Young People
An award-winning children’s playwright tells all for kids. Using four of her original plays, which have toured in Canada and the United States, as the center piece, she talks about the history of theatre and drama, with a who’s who of players, including descriptions of the roles of actors, directors, playwrights, choreographers, producers, designers, and more.
The book contains complete text and stage directions for four of Kathleen’s best-known plays, Loon Boy, Ezzie’s Emerald, Foundlings and The Seven Ravens. Photographs of performances and programs enrich this wonderful learning tool and fabulous gift.
