What our customers say about us
Libby Tilley, Head of Arts and Humanities Libraries and English Faculty Librarian, University of Cambridge, UK
We chose DT+ to provide access to theatre productions for our students. The additional information offered through study guides and interviews is a bonus for those doing Performance or Shakespeare courses. The difference screening live performances makes is enormous, and it is worth the investment to get this level of quality.
Jeremy Franklin, Director of Music/Theatre, Colorado Mesa University, US
DT+ has allowed us to bring a myriad of productions and artists directly to our students. Having DT+ available helps our students develop as well-rounded artists, expands their world-view, making them all the more employable after graduation.
Jim Pedrech, English Department Head, Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School, Canada
We replaced a text in one of our courses with All My Sons due to the strength of the performance available through DT+. We believe that the activities we have built around this remarkable adaptation effectively prepare our students for post-secondary education.
Andrew Leask, Head of English & Drama, St George's School for Girls, UK
DT+ makes literary and dramatic texts more accessible to my students; they are able to develop opinions and independent thoughts about the characters and themes. Through watching a DT+ performance they gain a deeper understanding of literature. This greater understanding helps prepare them more effectively for their exams.
Don Landrigan, Theatre Teacher, Linden Hall School, Japan
Given where we are – regional Japan – opportunities to see theatre are limited and DT+ provides quality. I'd have a hard time completing my course without DT+. Joining is the best advice I've been given since I started teaching IB DP Theatre.
Alesha Tatum-Howe, Theatre Director & Fine Arts Department Chair, Frisco Independent School District, US
DT+ is an invaluable resource that was easily integrated into our curriculum. Students are exposed to staged productions of texts they study in class and the supplementary materials and study guides are incredible, allowing for in-depth discussion and analysis. The DT+ resources save me approximately 2-4 hours a week.
Kevin Wallace, Head of Department (Acting), Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Republic of Ireland
DT+ is a great learning aid and teaching tool. It provides the students with an in-depth view of performances of essential theatrical texts. I use it to teach English Literature students and it is a crucial tool to show them that a performance text is radically different from a written text.
Daniel Hawthorne, Lecturer in Creative Arts, Bridgwater College, UK
DT+ has been highly effective both in classroom interactivity and assisting effective planning. The resources available for teacher and student are specific and concise from highly respected sources. I have saved 3-5 hours of planning a week through use of DT+.
