English Teachers and Theatre: Sacrifices and Rewards of a Natural Combination.
Ridgway, Craig S.
English Journal, v75 n1 p50-52 Jan 1986
Elaborates on directing theater while teaching English. States that working in an unfamiliar field with different students, materials, and skills is difficult, and the opportunity to sacrifice time, energy, and personal life for low pay and a chance to flop are disadvantages. But the academic and personal rewards make the experience worthwhile. (EL)
