Speaking Their Language: Connecting with Gen Z and Gen Alpha Through Theatre

In this episode of Afterpiece, Billy and Annie Dragoo dive into the evolving language of Generation Alpha and why it matters for theatre educators. With a special introduction by Kevin Patrick, recent recipient of the Texas Educational Theatre Association's College Professor of the Year award, listeners get a taste of Gen Alpha’s lingo and how understanding it can help educators better connect with students. Billy and Annie break down popular terms like “bet,” “vibe check,” and “drip,” exploring how using these expressions can create an inclusive, engaging environment in the classroom and on stage. Perfect for anyone looking to bridge generational gaps and build stronger relationships with young theatre artists!
