        <Name>New Drama Textbooks</Name>
        <Summary>These books are great for elementary school.</Summary>
        <Description>
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" 
color=#000000 size=3&gt;Today I approved the offering of a number of theatre 
textbooks for elementary schools on our website. They&amp;rsquo;re specifically for 
elementary school drama programs or classroom use. We thought about this quite a 
bit and decided that our selection of drama textbooks needed more of these 
books. I&amp;rsquo;ve worked with quite a few elementary schools in Denver and I normally 
used &lt;I&gt;Theatre Machine&lt;/I&gt;, one of our most popular books. However, we just 
didn&amp;rsquo;t have items targeted for younger kids. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT 
color=#000000&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" 
color=#000000 size=3&gt;Many people ask me how Pioneer Drama Service finds them. 
The main person who finds these books is Becca, an education specialist at 
Pioneer. She works with many publishing companies. They send her numerous books 
and she evaluates them. From there, when she has found a book that she thinks 
would be a tremendous resource for teachers, drama directors or actors, we offer 
them. Thanks to Becca, I think we have a great selection. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</Description>
