The Play's the Thing

"There's no business like show business"…especially on the Internet! If you're looking for a way to bring the world of theater into your classroom, join us for an exciting tour of the dramatic arts.

Where better to start your tour than at the birth of drama. Visit the History of Theatre site to get an overview of theater from ancient Greece to the 20th Century. With some history under your belt, you'll be ready to explore the ELAC Theatre Library where you can challenge yourself to theater trivia and look up drama terms in the handy theatre glossary.

For help with plays you might be performing, check out the Musicals dot Net — a great resource for learning about and discussing the show your school is putting on.
