The Alliance for Wisconsin Theatre Education (AWTE)

We now have a Facebook page for those of you adept with social media.

Scott Parker's site includes lesson plans and numerous other resources for drama teachers.

Scott also moderates the HSTech mailing list which is a Google Group perfect for drama teachers to post questions and offer advise. See http://groups.google.com/group/hstech for more info.

Jeff Salzburg and Judy Kupferman compiled an intro to stage lighting perfect for HS students.

The "Stagecraft Mailing List" is the place to ask about technical problems, how-to's, where to, what if, and career info. Members range from high school students to professional designers and technicians from all over the globe. It's been described by some as "the stagehand's virtual bar" in that the conversation ranges from the extremely technical (mechanical design for theatre) to the mundane (best places to get BBQ when you're on tour in various cities.) Over the years, I've learned a lot from the people on this list. The archives for this list are not working, but parts can be searched via Google.
