IN THE CLASSROOM

Drama Online is an award-winning digital library of 4,000 playtexts, over 400 audio plays and 500 hours of video from leading theatre publishers and companies. It offers a complete multimedia experience of theatre. Each collection is available as a stand-alone purchase.

PERFECT FOR THE CLASSROOM

• Students can filter results by content type, genre, period, author, setting and more, and select plays to perform via cast size and gender of roles.

• Using the character grid they can see how characters interact and they can develop a “Part Book” to view the lines for single characters, ideal for use in rehearsals and for analysis.

• Videos are supported by an interactive searchable transcript player and closed captioning, as well as video clipping functionality.

“The selection is vast and teens whose exposure to the theatre is limited to scholarly fare will find themselves falling in love with the art form as a result of the exposure to younger, edgier, and more culturally diverse playwrights.”

– School Library Journal
