Theatre for Youth and Community Collection
This guide is to engage researchers and community members with the history of theatre for young audiences and drama in education.
Drama in Education
This page lists and provides access to a number of resources specific to drama in education. Several of these items are significant because their authors have manuscript collections in the Theatre for Youth and Community Collection. These include works by pioneers such as Dorothy Heathcote, Winifred Ward, and Gavin Bolton, that were written during the early to mid-20th century. These works are able to be viewed in the Wurzburger Reading Room.
