and a chorus made up of all students who are not playing roles at the time.

The same special sections about sets, costumes suggestions, staging, and all of the helpful ideas in putting on a performance are offered in the back of the teachers guide just as they are in the "Jack and the Beanstalk" package. All of the musicals at Bad Wolf Press have these great idea sections in the back of the teachers guide.

Some of the specific rehearsal and assessment ideas are as follows:

• Don't panic. Rehearsals early on, and even up to the day of the performance, can be quite rough. The kids will pull through when it "counts".
  
• Each day, ask the students to give suggestions on improvement: What can everyone do to make the show better? (You'll be amazed at the intelligent suggestions they make.)
  
• Ask the students to self-evaluate as well: How did I do my job? How can I do better next time? (This can be done verbally or in writing)

There are a lot more tips, but these tips above give you an idea of how valuable these program packages offered by Bad Wolf Press can be, especially for novices in putting together performances.
