An excellent source especially for secondary teachers of

This is the best source I have found for suggestions on staging and adapting scripts for the older reader's theater members. Most texts I have found have concentrated on primary and middle school adaptations. It's a shame this text is out of print. There are excellent sample scripts, illustrative pictures, and a wealth of examples for broad interpretation of choral reading selections.
