The Teacher as Impresario
The perennial question is "how are we going to pay for this?" So a few years back, I asked a panel of teachers to describe the process they went through to put together a successful "cabaret in the classroom" program at their school. As with many arts-in-education projects, the solution starts with winning the support and enthusiasm of administrators, colleagues, parents and community, because—to follow the adage—where there's a will, there's a way.
The following pages have been prepared from their reports and from suggestions gathered by other presenters and teachers. I call these "Guidelines for the Teacher as Impresario". Let them inspire you.
