Dr. L.E. McCullough is the author of several books of original children's plays and short stories including Plays of America from American Folklore, Plays of the Wild West, Plays of the Songs of Christmas, Plays from Mythology, Plays from Fairy Tales, Plays of People at Work, Plays of Exploration and Discovery and Anyone Can Produce Plays with Kids (available from Smith & Kraus publishers, 1-800-895-4331). Smith & Kraus author L.E. McCullough has raised the art of Playwriting for Children to a new level of craft and popularity. How? By writing plays that kids -- and teachers -- want to perform. Drawing from two decades' experience as a musician, folklorist, poet, journalist and educator, Dr. McCullough writes plays that are well-grounded in fact and enlivened by snippets of humor, music, dance and excursions into international legend and lore. The plays are designed for classroom or home performance and are adaptable to any setting and budget. Richly textured and quickly paced, they can be easily integrated across a wide range of curricula -- history, geography, social studies, music, dance, theatre, English and foreign language arts -- to provide a broad-based thematic approach that helps children most efficiently acquire and retain information. If you're looking for plays that educate and entertain, try out a play or two from an L.E. McCullough collection. They're written expressly with you -- and your audience -- in mind.
