Met expectations

Great value

After teaching Drama for years at local theatres, I was looking for a curriculum to transition into teaching in schools. This is a good basic blueprint however I would've loved more printable worksheet options. One thing I loved was the A/B script options; they were perfect for my beginning students.

The materials work for what I need. They are PDF based, meant for your eyes only and not the students.

There is a lot of content to go through in this comprehensive collection! I was hoping to get more a ready-to-go in 2-days because I start teaching drama in 2-days type collection, but this is definitely helpful. The guide itself is formatted as a single long PDF, which isn't the easiest for me to use in building out my own content. I really liked the layout and style of the stagecraft guides, which I think can easily be used for independent study.
