For Kara

Great paper! Very cohesive - the comment you're asking for about cutting the script will be cool but even if she doesn't respond, the paper seems complete even with out it!

I was a little bit surprised in the conclusion with the statement "Is Children’s theater worth the time? The answer: not always. However, if theater companies keep the goals discussed in mind, their audiences are more likely to leave with a greater appreciation of Shakespeare and theater as an educational tool in general." 
A perfect conclusion! Maybe you can more explicitly state this in the intro.
And when you talk about getting the attention of the child audiences and Love mentions the race through the audience I expected to read about the kids in the Henry V production who were actually SITTING on the stage and then took part in the war scene. Since I've seen the play you're referencing that just makes sense to me, but not all your readers will have seen that production, so whatever. :) GREAT PAPER! I can tell you've worked hard on it! It's a fun, interesting read and it's obvious that you're invested in the topic. Excellent.

What venues to submit it to? An educational blog or journal maybe, since you're writing about teaching kids about Shakespeare...?
