Page notes
Hi, I've chosen to respond here rather than on your talk page since I wanted to leave some notes for the article.

Offhand one of the first things I noted is that the article's title is a little confusing. The article looks like it's meant to cover children's theater, however this isn't a very common term as far as this goes. If this isn't the same thing then you really need to show how this differs. If it's the same, I would recommend looking into seeing whether or not it could be moved to that title.

Another thing I noted is that the article looks like it is very US centric, so this is something to take into consideration when writing about sections that are supposed to be more general than others. Also, the techniques section doesn't really seem to be about techniques per se as much as it just lists out various children's theatrical companies and productions.

This is something that I could probably get some help with from some theater specific editors, as this needs some overall expansion. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey, Shalor! Thanks for your feedback! I definitely think it can use some more specific information about global TYA, and both the Types of TYA and Techniques sections can be expanded. If theatre specific editors were able to hop on this that would be awesome! In regards to the title, I do think it needs to remain as is. Theatre for Young Audiences is the more adequate way to refer to children's theatre within the field. Yes, they are technically the same thing, but this branch of theatre isn't referred to as children's theatre anymore, for the semantics imply it is somehow lesser than "adult theatre." So it is now popularly referred to as Theatre for Young Audiences! Let me know if there's anything else I could help with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulochiossi (talk • contribs) 16:54, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
