Online LEarning
There are many resources out there, in fact, too many. It all can seem exhausting and confusing during a time already filled with overwhelm.

We culled through the sea of online resources and plucked out some strong choices to help you through this year. Many theatre teachers out in the world created some wonderful lessons and we pulled some together for ease of use. As happens with much of theatre creation, we tweaked what we found and sprinkled in some of our own flair. We do not claim to be the sole creators of these lessons and have tried to credit folk if we could. Think of us more as a DJ who took a bunch of songs and created a playlist to get you through.
