“…With training and development, the educational theatre aims at training the students in the production of plays and scripts based on a comparison of literature [16]. Formulating models of societal issues, theatrical text, and children's writings in plays are also at the core of educational theatre [17,18,19]. The development and training, adhere to implementing curriculum dramatisation, artistic models, social topics, and national identity in the educational field [20].…”

Introduction. Educational theatre combines integrated opportunities and forms of education using theatrical arts. It develops in students the ability to use their proactive experiences into absorbing and challenge social reality. The educational value of theatre and performing arts is widely recognised, leading to the integration of theater programmes into the curriculum of universities globally. These programmes are overseen by specialised departments, and universities have established resources for instruction and training. Aim. The present research aims to evaluate the educational outcomes of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre at the Faculty of Specific Education at Mansoura University in Egypt to ensure that the graduates are ready for the changing conditions of the economy and the needs of the labour market. Concerning the same, the adoption of educational theatre as a model had not been evaluated in the country. Methodology and research methods. The current study finds the role of SLOs, CLOs, PLOs, and ILOs as measures to examine the impact of the educational theatre model. Using a mixed method with the survey of 50 students and interviews of 20 faculty members of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre, the identification of educational theatre’s impact on the learning outcomes of students is determined. Results. The results show that academic educational programmes depend on the performing arts and the participation of the learner in vocal performance, acting, and movement, activate the learning process and make the educational environment more effectively and greatly improve the learning and practice process. The results also emphasised the significance of educational institutions, particularly universities, in adopting academic programmes that incorporate practical experience, training, hands-on activities, and utilising appropriate evaluation methods. Scientific novelty. These academic educational models help engage students to create a positive emotional state, drive curiosity, strive to excel, build national character, focus on social issues, and believe in their capabilities. Practical significance. Accreditation of academic programmes based on practice and training develops students psychologically and mentally and raises the level of academic achievement and professional and personal development. Therefore, the study recommended the adoption of educational theatre courses in Egypt to ensure that the students are prepared to adapt to the changes in the labour market.

This essay considers how one modern order of Catholic priests and nuns, the Salesians, presented the lives of female saints as heroic role models through theater to young women in Italy in the post-World War II years. My discussion touches on the Salesian use of theater in education; the most important Salesian woman author, Caterina Pesci; the heroic journey of the saints that Pesci chose as role models; the effect that the theatrical representation of these saints was meant to make on performers and audience, and the historical reasons for the importance of saints as heroic role models in postwar Italy.

Go and Sin No More: The Afterlife as Moral Teaching in Italian Catholic Educational Theatre

Catholic religious orders that have education as part of their mission have often used visions of the afterlife in theatre productions as vehicles to transmit a message of conversion, especially to those who, because of age or illiteracy, would not benefit as much from Scripture readings or complex sermons. In this article, I look at how such visions of the blessed and the damned, of heaven and hell, of angels and demons, were used in educational theatre in Italy by the Jesuits in the 16th century and the Salesian sisters in the 20th century. The historical background for the Jesuit and Salesian plays I analyze also reveals a propagandistic layer of meaning in their representation of the afterworld, as the Jesuits’ tragedies date to the years of the Counter-reformation, while the Salesian sisters’ plays belong to era of the cold war. Thus, the Jesuit and Salesian theatrical depictions of heaven and hell provide insight not only into the religious understanding of the eras, but also into the social and political concerns of the times in which they were composed, as well as the diverse educational messages transmitted to young men and young women.
