"Give me four trestles, four boards, two actors, and a passion."
Lope de Vega, playwright

My book is a love letter to anyone who teaches youth about Theatre or those who are thinking about teaching Theatre. I give you a standing ovation and a round of applause each day for all you do for the future of world Theatre, whether you are training future actors and technicians or educated audience members. 
Some of my tips include
• Protect your emotional and physical health.
• Thank your family and friends. Students will graduate or move on.   There will always be another production. Loved ones are for life.
• It is okay to cancel a rehearsal to attend a conference of
  professional development event. You return refreshed, and the   students appreciate a break. 
• Sigh ten times a day. If you don't, you are under sighed. 
• Give yourself a standing ovation and round of applause
  each day for what you do.

"A teacher is an actor. To desire to teach, a person must have been enthralled by an idea or an experience of some kind himself and must desire that others have the opportunity to know about and be inspired by that same event or material in some way. To be able to transfer ideas, he must develop, in addition to the knowledge he accumulates, the ability to communicate that knowledge. This ability is an art or skill also known as teaching."
