Digital Theatre+ is the ultimate tool for teachers and students in grades 6-12, giving unlimited access to productions, poetry recitals, documentaries, and thousands of time-saving instructional resources.
'The best we can hope for in education is to ignite curiosity and foster lifelong learning. Digital Theatre+ is a vital tool in achieving both.'
'Digital Theatre+ is a great way to bring real theatre makers and performances into the classroom, supported by curriculum and articles to flesh out any lesson.'
– Chris Hanks, Teacher, River City High School
'Not every class has an opportunity to leave campus and go on a field trip to experience theatre first hand. DT+ is the next best thing. No matter where the student lives, they can access top-notch theatre productions and other captivating materials. In addition, DT+ allows teachers to "flip" the classroom. Students can engage with the material outside of class, leaving lesson time for important collaborative and creative work. There is also the opportunity to engage with other teachers across the campus and truly integrate theatre into all disciplines of learning. The teaching resources on the platform are terrific and there are more of them every day.'
– Marjorie Treger, Theatre Resource Teacher, San Diego Unified School District
'When students enter a theatre class, it's common that they've never had the opportunity to see theatre before. I've used Digital Theatre+ to introduce them to careers in theatre, styles of theatre, and theatre history. I can now say that 100% of my students have seen at least one play. The fact that we can all watch a play together at the same time, or I can assign scenes for students to watch on their own, makes this a very useful tool.'
– Jen Nocera, Head of Department, Victor Valley High School
