Review Quotes
Dramatherapy
"This is an accessible guide to contemporary theatre education practice in the United States. In seven chapters this book encompasses interviews from 140 drama teachers. This is one of its greatest strengths, we not only hear the voice of the author, who defines and analyses modern drama education practice with an intention to continually reinvent it; but also she shares the views of many professional colleagues from differing backgrounds."
Theatre Research in Canada, on the first edition
"Lazarus is a veteran theatre educator and a leading voice in rethinking secondary school theatre education. . . . The wisdom in this book has great potential to make a huge impact on the training of North American secondary school theatre teachers, both new and experienced. "
Julia Perlowski, Reba R. Robinson Outstanding Secondary School Drama Educator
"This book should be put in the hands of every person who has the inclination and opportunity to make theatre with young people. It is a ’must-have’ in theatre-training institutions."
