What educators are saying

This was extremely helpful for my Theatre Appreciation students. It helps to provide accountability when watching the crash course videos and they cover a wide range of theatrical history so they get to experience, watch, and understand a little of everything.

— Kate H.

Rated 5 out of 5

I use this in my introduction theater class as we learn theater history. It gives both me and the students a guide to follow and it is easy to understand and fill out while also being engaging.
