Introduction
What Is Stagings?
The term "stagings" suggests the variety and progression in which each play may be approached:
For a simple reading exercise to enhance cold reading skills and diction.
For a classroom dramatization where dramatic skills are observed and critiqued by other students and instructors.
For a fully staged production that incorporates props, costumes, sets, and lighting.
For its progression (or stages) in sophistication, intricacy, form, and intent from the first play to the last in this series.
Stagings strives to accomplish three objectives:
1) Not Our Town again! Today's drama coaches, theatre instructors, and literature teachers are faced with the great challenge of bringing material into the classroom that is not only appropriate for the maturity level of the students, but is also interesting. The traditional method of teaching dramaof telling students to find a play and perform a scene from itis becoming more difficult and, I dare say, risky due to the increasing number of new plays that contain controversial or inappropriate subject matter or dialogue. Although controversy has always made for compelling drama, it tends to complicate training a middle or secondary school student in the mechanics of acting and play production. Langford Wilson's
