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.
Marriage is one of the most satisfying and yet one of the most difficult relationships on earth. God places a great importance on this relationship and gives very clear principles on how it is to be lived out in the daily life using the Word of God. In Twelve Biblical Steps, these Biblical principles will be carefully analyzed and clearly explained so that every Christian couple can grasp their significance and begin to carry them out in their marriages. Some of these Biblical principles that are covered in this book are as follows: Follow the instructions Building a spiritual network Becoming friends not just roommates Avoiding the triple threats Fight to unite not divide This book is not intended to cover all the challenges that married couples face. It is not an in-depth analysis of relationship issues. It is not expected to answer all of the questions that couples may have as they learn to build a new home and a new family. However, it is a book that seeks to dig into God's Word and apply His truth to the marriage relationship. The hope of this author is that the chapters that follow in this book will enable the husband and the wife to develop a marriage that is a success and so become examples for a new generation to follow. Dr. David S. Thompson has pastored churches in Queens, New York, and in the Cayman Islands, and in upstate New York. He and his wife, Judith, have been married over 33 years and have raised five children. He currently is the Professor of Bible and Missions at Trinity Baptist College.
