Actor Edwin Forrest suggested that a "passion for the dramatic art is inherent in the nature of man." But what is drama? We'll present a framework that you can use to notice and describe the dramatic elements in any community's artistic life. Then we'll show how you can integrate these elements into both short and long-term mission work.
