Research and gathering professional experts’ opinions and art and educational sciences experts in relationship with groups and those who are invited by administrators and teachers for running play in school and or students are taken to venues for watching some of the shows. Unfortunately, some of these shows are not only lack of educational and training effects, but also has devastating impact on the children and adolescents because of some reasons like; lack of awareness of children’s education art and also purely materialistic goals and the lack of expertise monitoring in the education on this important factor. (Of course, this look to children and adolescents’ theatre in other countries is more sophisticated.)
However, this book talks about wonderful effects of drama in The Education as an infrastructure tool, before it talks about negative effects of some shows.
