    Summary note
    Theatre is often perceived as elitist, something reserved for the affluent mainstream. But all children can be given the opportunity to explore dramatic art if individual teachers choose to integrate these experiences into their curriculum. Johnny Saldana's Drama of Color is a unique resource for using drama to enhance K-6 children's ethnic literacy by provoking personal insights into the multiethnic world in which we live. Multiethnic folklore - specifically Hispanic, Native American, Asian and Pacific Islander, and African/African American - becomes a springboard for examining different ethnic perspectives and world views and dispelling stereotypes along the way.
