| Teaching Theatre is the Educational Theatre Association’s quarterly journal for theatre educators. A typical issue includes an article on acting, directing, playwriting, or technical theatre; a profile of an outstanding educational theatre program; a piece on curriculum design, assessment, or teaching methodology; and a report on current trends or issues in the field, such as funding, standards, or certification. Here’s what’s in our current issue:
