Higher Education Success Stories

Access to a wide range of theatre styles is a key challenge when teaching Theatre and Performance, as literature Professor Sandra Adell found before joining Digital Theatre+.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

"I think it's so helpful that students see and hear people on the site who have different accents, who speak differently. That helps to open them up to what's happening in other parts of the world. It widens their understanding," she says.

"I don't know another platform that is as vast as this is. It's just my go-to place."

Sandra Adell, Literature Professor in the Department of Afro American Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
