Set between the world wars, this book explores the emergence of labor colleges in the US, which aimed to educate union members while promoting their causes.

Drama and Education is the comprehensive textbook for teachers and students on Applied Theatre and Theatre and Education courses. As well as a historical and theoretical overview of the field, it provides rationale and techniques for three specific methodologies: Linear Drama, Process-Oriented/In-Role Drama, and Drama for Social Change. Each approach is supplemented with sample lesson plans, activities, ideas for differentiation, and extensive bibliographies. The topics are discussed from five key angles: Historical and theoretical foundations; Curricular applications; Practical toolkits for a range of classrooms and learning environments; Different strategies for lesson plans; Extension options for longer workshops. Alongside these core methods, the integration of other innovative forms - from performance art to Theatre of the Oppressed - into drama-based learning is explored, as well as the pragmatic concerns such as funding applications, advocacy, and planning partnerships.
