ABSTRACT
Beginning teachers may be surprised to learn that “the use of drama in education is certainly not new” (Heinig, 1994, p. 437). In fact, throughout history, drama has been used in many cultures as a venue for informing the public about news events, teaching about customs, religion, and traditions, promoting awareness about diversity, providing insights about historical events, and imparting moral lessons (Rosenberg & Prendergast, 1983).
