The Play's the Thing

"The play's the thing..." William Shakespeare wrote in his famous play Hamlet, almost 500 years ago. In the December issue of APPLESEEDS, we take you behind the scenes in a community theater production of Oliver and onstage with young actors around the country. The issue offers readers tips for writing their own plays, as well as audition tips from some "rising stars." William Shakespeare appears in more than the issue's title: Readers will meet the bard in a story of his life and times and find out more about how we use his language all the time. "Training in theater arts can change your life..." Consulting Editor Nicki Pretzer notes. This is an issue to inspire interest and involvement in theater.
