Swortzell has constructed a seminal reference work that
chronicles the history, current state of artistic achievement, and
foremost future needs of children's theater in 44 different
countries. . . . an excellent first resource for diverse forms of
research, and quite accessible to both undergraduate and graduate
students. "Choice"
After a visit to the Children's Educational Theatre in New York
City, the first American theatre intended specifically for children
and adolescents, Mark Twain declared that children's theatre is one
of the very, very great inventions of the twentieth century.
The "Guide" is designed as a reference book, surveying theatre
for young people in forty-five countries from Australia to
Zimbabwe, as well as examining some of the provocative paradoxes,
questions, and concerns that plague and inspire children's theatre.
Arranged in alphabetical order by country, the Guide documents the
history of the children's theatre movement in each country, defines
its current state of artistic achievement, and projects its
foremost needs for the future. For each chapter, the "Guide"
includes profiles of representative companies. Important
productions and influential dramatists, directors, designers,
performers, and pedagogues are also mentioned.
