Why Kids Need Theatre
"It used to be the norm that children would automatically go to the theatre at school. There used to be a time when that would be a child's first experience of theatre. There are still some theatre groups that go into schools, but they are becoming rarer. An increasingly restrictive national curriculum puts teachers under more pressure than ever. That, together with the red tape over school trips, makes it harder for children to experience theatre." The Independent (UK) 07/05/08
