Why do Florida teachers love Digital Theatre+?

"I appreciate the breadth of content that Digital Theatre+ offers, from popular Broadway and West End shows to regional presentations of both classics and new plays.  We were thrilled to be able to show our students an off-Broadway play that featured one of our graduates in the cast!  Teaching in a town that has no Equity theatre, this is a great way to expose students to high-quality theatre productions captured live in front of real audiences."

“DT+ has everything needed to fully delve into every aspect of theatre and drama, as well as complement various core classes like English and History. Having a resource that includes performance, reflections, interviews and teaching resources in both video and written formats is invaluable to teachers.”

"I’m absolutely gobsmacked by the amount of content on Digital Theatre+. They have made the navigation and relatable content so easy to find. The personal interviews really give an insight as to what happens behind the scenes and I’m thrilled to see it all!"

"Simply said,  DT+ is a work of art. This is a dream come true for both teachers and students, and it has impacted our teaching and learning experience in a very positive way."
