Hi all. I have no access to an orchestra and I am a newer Drama teacher. What are my options for putting on West Side Story with no orchestra? Can I purchase the full orchestration with no lyrics? Will a piano accompanist work?THANKS

Having spent the last 30 years involved in theatre, we are well aware that raising extra funds is always a HUGE need. When we began our costuming business for BEAUTY & the BEAST five years ago, we began a fundraising branch with light-up roses. With no 'up front' costs and the ability to return any unsold roses - clients are enjoying a NO RISK fundraising opportunity and making thousands of dollars. We have expanded products to include pink sequin hats for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, red & white stovepipe hats for SEUSSICAL and light-up candles for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. But we want to do more!We would love your input..what other MTI shows would you like to see us represent AND what product (for that show) would you recommend?Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!!!

I want to develop a summer program for our church families which would be intergenerational. This would be a group of families and couples or single people. I envision having some team building activities, some skill building activities, and finally working on a one act play in which all ages could be involved. An example might be Aesop's Fables, animal stories, or fairy tales. Does anyone have suggestions for materials or activities that work well with a wide range of ages? There are a few in our community with experience, but mostly it will be a group of people with a wide range of abilities who want to learn about theater and want to have fun.I do have a theater background, but have been out of education for about 10 years and don't have access to the school materials I used before. Any suggestions for materials to order or plays that may work with this kind of group will be appreciated.

Looking for audition pieces, mainly the script pieces that will work well for our auditions. Any insight would be great! Thanks!!

My theatre group is looking for show suggestions. One of the problems we are running into is that this group has been around for 30 years and they don't want to repeat shows. They've performed all of the traditional shows. The other challenge is the age of the performers. The amjority are mid 20's to early 30's but we have a good selection of 40-50 yr olds as awell. Moe women then men AND we really want to include children in the show. Any suggestions?
