Abstract: In this project a grounded theory is developed for the teaching of Stagecraft (technical theatre) in a high school setting. First, the unique Stagecraft program is introduced and the impetus for the research is discussed, including the desire to find a purposeful theoretical framework for the teaching of Stagecraft. Then, various aspects (categories) that should be incorporated into such a Stagecraft theory are identified and described. Ultimately, a grounded theory emerges which utilizes the framework and methodology of Environmental Adult Education within a grounded metaphor of the theatre as 'environment'. The conclusion explores practical application of this grounded theory by applying it to a list of 'obstacles' previously identified by the author in relation to teaching Stagecraft.
