"This
practical guide to putting on a classroom play is written by a true
master. Having seen many of her plays performed by students, I can
definitively say that Ms. Akselrad knows of what she writes. Her
original plays are imaginative, engaging and delightful. Following her
lead, one can certainly be assured of a successful, educational and
fun-filled experience!"
Dr. Miriam Westheimer,
Program Director - Teachers College, Columbia University
"Any teacher considering mounting a play with elementary school children
can’t go wrong with “Classroom Teacher as Theatre Director.” It is an
entertaining and useful must-have for any school."

"This is the one book you need by your side when you set out to produce a school play. January Akselrad makes the process clear, simple, and, most important, fun for your students, the audiences, and even for you. It's like having a great Broadway director whispering in your ear as your production unfolds from the anxious beginning to the triumphant first performance."
David Scott Kastan, General Editor of the Arden Shakespeare and English Professor at Yale
