520 _a"Although there are many children's theater companies around the world, more parents and educators need to be aware of the significant impact such as venues can have the lives of the participants. Children's Theater: A Paradigm, Primer, and Resource introduces readers to the world of children's theater by highlighting one specific model. Oyster River Players, a small children's theater company in New Hampshire. By exploring the history and dynamics of their own company, authors Kelly and Walter Eggers apply broader implications, expanding their focus to include children's theaters of other kinds and in different cultural settings. In this book the author shows how children's theater helps young people learn in ways that would be otherwise in accessible. Through forays into philosophy and history, as well as personal testimonies, the authors present a coherent argument for the need for children's theaters in nearly evert community. This volume also lists more than 500 children's theater companies, agencies, and associations in the United States, as well as 250 world wide. Both accessible and practical, Children's Theater is an essential tool for teachers, directors, parents, mentors, and anyone else involved or interested in children's theaters and its implications for education." --Cover
