The Theater of Teaching and the Lessons of Theater

In a first of its kind collection, The Theater of Teaching and the Lessons of Theater offers a riveting array of perspectives, approaches, and dialogues exploring the intersections between theater as text, theater as performance, and theater as pedagogy.

The essays in this book advance the idea that in their interactive qualities, both teaching and theater have profoundly political and social dimensions.

Scholars and teachers from a variety of backgrounds present in this volume an intentionally improvisational and fluid examination meant to offer a model of how to discuss and engage in the practice of theater and teaching, ultimately interweaving the two.

The Theater of Teaching will be equally useful to teachers, students, and practitioners of theater.
