Talk:Paul Sills' Story Theatre

Someone with the power, please correct title: Paul Sills' Story Theater edit

The creator of the show was Paul Sills, not Paul Sill. And irrespective of Wikipedia style, the name of the show uses the American spelling of theater. Michael (talk) 06:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

By the way, you can re-name (ie move) the page name yourself, if you'd like (you most likely are an Autoconfirmed user). WP:MOVE.JeanColumbia (talk) 09:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is this a musical? edit

Not having seen it, but having heard the original cast recording many times, I would never have described it as such. It is a series of short plays with incidental music. Michael (talk) 06:45, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree, it is a play with music, and is described as such in the opening sentence in the article. The Musical Theatre project template is placed on a broad range of productions: musicals (as one would thnk of them); revues; plays with music, etc. All it means is that the article is under the watchful eye of a particular Wikipedia group. (Hopefully a member of the group will be awake soon and can give more detailed reasoning.) If you object, however, you might raise it with that group on their talk page Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Musical_Theatre. By the way, I'll make the requested move of the title of the piece in a few hours (I'd like to research the "Theatre" vs. "Theater", since the IBDB uses "Theatre".)JeanColumbia (talk) 08:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Later: moved, with the new title of "Paul Sills' Story Theatre". The "Theatre" is based on this: [[1]]. JeanColumbia (talk) 11:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

68.230.70.134 (talk) 06:46, 25 February 2013 (UTC)This is confusing. Paul Sills had an improvisation, play development technique called "Story Theater" - I guess there was also a production based on this. But this page only talks about a single productionReply
