In the city.
/ Children's theaters produce plays
created specifically for children. In
the case of Washington,s theater,
the plays will be presented by chill
dren as well as for them.
According to Mrs. Rose Robson
Cowen, chairman of the Advisory
Committee for the local Children's
Theater and director of the Chill
dren's Studios of Speech and Drama
these theaters are comparatively new
in America as recognized irstitu-
ton. The Children's Theater Con-
ference was born only year and
a half ago.
There is dearth of good dra-
matte material for children" Mrs
Cowen explained Children are q
demanding audience. They are
more critical than adults, and get
impatient with the mediocre. It's
not unusual to hear, 'Ah, that
couldn't be SOP when a character
portrays something they feel is I'M
believable."
Mrs. Cowen went on to cite GER
tain qualities to be sought in chill
dren's play. 1t must have beauty
in production and in costuming
This is especially true for young
children. 1t must be "meaty" ir
content. 1t must have simple dia.
logue, the vocabulary must be inter-
esting, but the dialogue should not
have complex sentences. 1t must
have plot within the realm of pos
sibility. 1t must see to it that good
Is rewarded and evil punished.
1t should stimulate child's imag-
nation. This includes the child
in the audience and the child who
Is doing the acting. 1t should be
within the realm of the youngster's S
own experience or enrich his ex-
perience.
A children's theater provides the
opportunity for the experience de-
fined as educational recreation. y
And this can be most helpful to the
child when he is at an impression
able age. Incidentally, it is claimed
that in Russia the best actors are
used in children's plays.
