Teaching as a theatrical art

Okay, so I was thinking about this today. I start serious preparation for the following school day at about 5:00pm (I get very little done during my prep period because I'm grabbing my mail and copies from the offices downstairs). But I start teaching at 8am. So I think of 8am as the "show" (I know I'm really teaching, don't get me wrong), and 5:00pm is my "rehearsal." It's when I make sure I have all my blocking, all my lines, all my props.

Again, I know that its not exactly theatre. Theatre would never have this much paperwork :)
