U.VA. STUDENTS TO ENTERTAIN FOR CREDIT

		CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 8 -- Applause--or the
lack of it--will give University of Virginia students enrolled in a
Theatre for Young Audiences class an idea of how well they have
mastered course content.
		Seventeen students, with majors as diverse as
pre-med to English, are spending about four hours a week learning
how to act for children.  After gaining tips on performing and
movement through improvisation, one-person shows, theatre games and
group projects, they are creating props and rehearsing for a series
of plays to be presented at area elementary schools.
		Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 15, the students will stage
ÒFairy Tales Around the World,Ó which will include performances of
ÒThe Golden Goose,Ó ÒSnow White and the Seven DwarfsÓ and ÒTwelve
Months,Ó a Russian folk tale.
		Working together in play production gives students a
chance to learn teamwork, said instructor Paulina Shur.  ÒThey also
get to use their imaginations and gain practice in performing so
they can produce polished, finished shows,Ó she said.
		Students are encouraged to involve children in the
play action.  They invite the children to sing, dance and give
advice on how to curtail evil characters.
