From Orlin Corey, a world theatre producer for a quarter-century, challenges, observations, and philosophy about children's theatre. Creator of an art theatre of world classics from the Bible, the Greeks, and Shakespeare, Corey was no less well-known for his dedication to theatre inclusive of children. At the behest of Sara Spencer, he consented to her selection from his speeches and writings of his convictions, concerns, promise and risks of theatre for children. These reflect his varied and unique experiences around the world, and his resolve to wage war against mediocrity in theatre. For children he offered nothing less than the excellence of Art. This voice and vision of a generation ago is now clearly timeless, often prophetic. This reissued edition, with Professor Jenning's evaluation, replies to many requests from directors, playwrights, and producers who remember the original, out of print for nearly two decades. - from Amzon
