Editorial: Building stages, building communities

Editor Claudine Nightingale introduces the Summer 2 issue of D&T.

Welcome to the Summer Term 2 issue of Drama and Theatre. As ever, we're bringing you a lively mix of features, tips and lesson plans to help you in your teaching, but many of our articles this issue are particularly focused on the power of theatre to support and enhance communities. Whether in classrooms, in amateur theatre groups, or through drama as therapy, we have been exploring the ways in which drama can help to strengthen the bonds of community.

Some of you might be in the process of preparing for a student tour over the summer holidays. If that's you, then you might find some useful tips in our article on page 14, in which Alex Thomas talks about his experiences planning summer tours, and offers advice on how to keep costs down.
