The essays in volume 23 of Theatre Symposium offer a rich
exploration of depictions of youth in works of theatre as well as
the role youth play in the creation and performance of drama. The
curtain rises on Theatre and Youth, volume 23 of Theatre Symposium
with keynote reflections by Suzan Zeder, the distinguished
playwright of theatre for youth, and presents eleven original
essays about theatre's reflections of youth and the role of young
people in making and performing theatre. The first set of essays
draws from robustly diverse sources: the work of Frank Wedekind in
nineteenth-century Germany, Peter Pan's several stage incarnations,
Evgeny Shvarts's antitotalitarian plays in Soviet Russia, and
Christopher Marlowe's Dido, Queen of Carthage, whose depictions of
childhood comment on both the classical period as well as Marlowe's
own Elizabethan age. The second part of the collection explores and
illustrates how youth participate in theatre, the cognitive
benefits youth reap from theatre practice, and the ameliorating
power of theatre to help at-risk youth. These essays show
fascinating and valuable case studies of, for example, theatre
employed in geography curricula to strengthen spatial thinking,
theatre as an antidote to youth delinquency, and theatre teaching
Latinos in the south strategies for coping in a multilingual world.
Rounding out this exemplary collection are a pair of essays that
survey the state of the art, the significance of theatre-for-youth
programming choices, and the shifting attitudes young Americans are
bringing to the discipline. Eclectic and vital, this expertly
curated collection will be of interest to educators and theatre
professionals alike.
