Excerpt from Community Drama: Suggestions for a Community Wide Program of Dramatic Activities
"The Drama," says Professor Arvold, "is a medium through which America must inevitably express its highest form of democracy... When it can be used as an instrument to get people to express themselves in order that they may build up a bigger and better community life it will then have performed a real service to society."
The conception of the play, the pageant, of all forms of the drama as a fundamental and vital means of self-expression for the individual and the community, has come into its own. From the Little Theatre of North Dakota, the Carolina Play Makers of the University of North Carolina, to the neighborhood theatres of New York and other large cities, small and large communities are everywhere discovering the power of the drama in developing inner resources, in creating an expressive art life, in interpreting people to one another and in building up a bigger and better community life.
This booklet has been prepared with the purpose of making available for dramatic workers, community groups and all interested in building up community drama in arty of its phases, information and suggestions based on experience and successful accomplishment.
