Stagercaft Made Simple was created for the theatre teacher that also teaches technical theatre, or stagecraft. It is written in simple language with easy to follow instructions so the teacher can use the material “as is” for student instruction.

You can use the entire manual or singular pages to post into an LMS for individual student study on a virtual platform, or can print out individual pages as worksheets in the classroom.

You can use the short quiz at the end for a chapter grade or just use the step-by-step guide for individual pieces. The choices for how to use this material are endless and entirely up to you. It was written with flexibility in mind to make life a little easier for the drama teacher that has to teach tech.
