Oscar Wilde wrote: "I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."I agree with Oscar Wilde.As a 6 th through 12 th grade English teacher, I used theatre performances and techniques to enhance and deepen classroom examinations of literary conflicts and student concerns, and, as the Writer-in-Residence at Stages of Imagination, Inc., a nonprofit, children's theatre organization, I have used live professional theatre to offer issues-based plays to pre-K through 5 th grade children.Our mission has been to bring students and their teachers together, as equals, within the darkened space of the performance, so that they can then return to their classrooms to actively construct and co-construct meaning from their shared experiences
