As tough as weeding through all the information and disinformation out there can be for adults, it's even more difficult for kids. This series is designed to guide young readers in learning how to become savvy consumers of the news and well-educated citizens. Features include: Follows the C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards of the National Council for the Social Studies. Fact boxes provide intriguing additional information and key things to watch for when reading, watching, or listening to news coverage.

Citizen Artists takes the reader on a journey through the process of producing, funding, researching, creating, rehearsing, directing, performing, and touring student-driven plays about social justice. The process at the heart of this book was developed from 2015–2021 at New York City’s award-winning Epic Theatre Ensemble with and for their youth ensemble: Epic NEXT.

Readers will find four original plays, seven complete timed-to-the-minute lesson plans, 36 theatre arts exercises, and pages of practical advice from more than two dozen professional teaching artists to use for their own theatre making, arts instruction, or youth organizing. Citizen Artists is a one-of-a-kind resource for students interested in learning about theatre and social justice; educators interested in fostering learning environments that are more rigorous, democratic, and culturally-responsive; and artists interested in creating work for new audiences that is more inclusive, courageous, and anti-racist.
