Eight of Suzan Zeder's plays, each widely produced and popular, are in this anthology, a collection of her first works for stage. Zeder is one of the most imaginative playwrights of her generation, and is best known for the depth and dimension of her child protagonists, the bold handling of contemporary themes and issues. She is theatrically exciting and surprising. Here are the titles for which she is famous - STEP ON A CRACK, WILEY AND THE HAIRY MAN, DOORS, MOTHER HICKS. Here are her well-crafted adaptations - - OZMA OF OZ, THE PLAY CALLED NOAH'S FLOOD. And here are recent works -- OTHER DOORS, IN A ROOM SOMEWHERE. They range from comedy to drama, realism to fantasy, uniquely blending styles and themes. For these reasons, among many, she early received the coveted Chorpenning Cup from the Children's Theatre Association of America. Twice her plays have been named for the Distinguished Play Award of the American Association of Theatre for Youth.

Irene Corey's designs have influenced the world of theatre with mosaic saints, mischievous Reynards, winning Tortoises. Now, from her studio, she writes the first major work on make-up to be published in the last two decades. It is a revolutionary book. She treats the study of make-up as a creative art form. Her methods and techniques - - clearly set forth for the student working from this practical guide beneath his make-up mirror - - open new realms of inspiration for the make-up artist. From her private hoard of priceless pictures - - photographs, illustrations, paintings - - she shares more than 400, many in color. The beginner will find the makup exercise progression unparalleled. It soothes initial fears, opens realms of delight in discovery and mastery. For the first time a make-up book employs transparent overlays to present a unique and logical illustration of the relation between make-up and the underlying skull and muscles. Corey lucidly traces the procedure of designing make-up from photographs. Another first is the unique presentation regarding make-up for complexions other than white. A world-honored designer, Irene Corey approaches the face as if it were a canvas. She reinforces or ignores what nature has given. Her positive and direct style, her sense of humor, her remarkable assemblage of pictorial resources, her creative vision - all make this a refreshing new entrant onto the make-up textbook scene. It is a book with impressive endorsements by leading artists of the American Theatre.

Moses Goldberg has been a witness to, and in an important leader of, much of the development of theatre for young audiences (TYA). In this collection of essays, he reveals his personal insights and passions, drawing on his years of experience in the changing field especially his twenty-five years as producing director of Louisville's Stage One. The essays divide into three sections, examining the Politics, the Art, and the Business of TYA (and include such provocative concepts as The Actor/Priest, The 60-Minute Myth, and Stage, by Stages.) This book is for practitioners of the field and also parents, educators, and political leaders who want to understand the link between a child's profound arts experience - a frequent occurence, and the real world of politics, funding, and school bus schedules.

History & Criticism

Play script. Refreshingly antic, irreverent treatment of Aesop's fable, written in the style of Italian Commedia dell'Arte. One set, 16th century Italian costumes. Cast of 5 men, 1 woman. One of the most popular children's plays ever written, ANDROCLES AND THE LION has been produced in twenty countries. In Commedia tradition, a group of strolling players set up their stage and give a performance. Using authentic staging and stock characters of Commedia -- the miserly Pantalone, the bragging Captain, the romantic Lovers, the trickster Arlinquin, plus an endearing Lion -- Aesop's fable becomes a colorful theatrical experience. The play sky rockets with zany comedy. It also glows with the warmth of "Friendship." Androcles and the Lion is a prize winning play, applauded around the world, again, and again!

Play script by Thorbjorn Egner. Translated from the Norwegian. Original folk tale, quite ambitious, with musical treatment of operatic dimensions. Stationary set with alternating inserts, or multiple sets on turntable. Folk costumes. Cast of 2 women, 8 men, 3 children, elastic number of other people and animals, as desired.Under the benign eye of their good-natured Policeman, the people of Cardemon Town are happily celebrating a Fair, with street shows, animal stunts, and songs. But their pleasure is threatened by the presence on the edge of town of three robbers, Casper, Jasper, and Jonathan, who keep a pet lion to protect them from the law. The three robbers, however, are very human fellows. Dissatisfied with their own uncouth ways, they kidnap Aunt Sophie from the town, to keep house for them. Aunt Sophie, a real tartar, at last has someone to shout at who really deserves it. Taking hold of her job like a master sergeant, she makes the three men wash and scrub and sweep and dig and plant and chop wood, until their dearest wish is to be rid of her. Transporting her back home in the dead of the night, they are caught in the act, and imprisoned in the town's pleasant jail, where in the care of the Policeman's kindly wife, they become useful citizens.This play is recognized abroad as a major classic. It has been translated into many languages, is regularly presented at holiday times by the great opera houses of Europe, Russia, and Japan. Its translation into English is an event.

AWARDS: IUPUI / Bonderman Award, AATE Distinguished Play Award. Music and lyrics by Wendy Kesselman. Musical arrangements by Michael Starobin. A haunting vision of a child's world -- a place of mystery and fantasy -- becomes mesmerizing theatre. The 1987 first prize winner of the I.U.P.U.I. National Playwriting Competition for Young Audiences. Single set of a child's room. 1 boy, 1 girl, 4 animals and 5 or more creatures of the Closet--gender immaterial. Becca is a powerful exploration of the inner journey of Jonathan and his little sister, Becca. Mixing reality and fantasy, through music and dialogue, we see the world through the eyes of children -- a world full of mystery, dreams, and love, but also a world where the need for control sometimes results in the loss of freedom, abuse of power, abandonment of responsibility. A timeless play that speaks to children of today, BECCA reaches out to every age, for it is a play that resonates the child in everyone.
