Testimonials
"Being a first year teacher, with 99% of my students being first year techs, I could not have survived without the P.T.T. program. This thing is a life saver. From the content to the production quality, this program is awesome!"
-Lukas Reynolds
Pine Tree High School, Longview, TX
"I had never done tech and all of a sudden, I'm in charge of everything, including all the tech stuff! Your DVD's have made a huge difference in our program. We perform in a gym, so your tour of theatres showed my students parts of a stage they'd never seen before. I understand lighting for the first time in my life. My students even named a mannequin "Bob" after you!"

"Definitely worth the money! This program really helped introduce my theatre students to the basics! Can't wait to get the new DVD'S!
Thanks!"

"The Practical Technical Theater series is the perfect compliment to the hands on work in my Stagecraft classes. The series is easy for teachers to use - regardless of your technical training - and includes lesson plans and suggested alternatives. For sometime the technical theatre training at our school has fallen behind the acting and performance training. I feel confident that I am furthering my students' technical theatre education and improving our design standards with the use of this series."

"Not only does this reinforce what I do in class, but makes my life easier when I have a substitute."

"I just finished my student teaching at Lafayette High School. We used your DVD's in our Stagecraft class and I was very impressed with the content, quality, and support materials. I plan to utilize your DVD's in my future classroom."

"The Interactive Educational DVDs are a must for any drama department. It brings all the technical aspects to life by demonstrating so many things. Give your students the wonderful present of these DVDs."

"Wow! After 30 years of teaching theatre, a real support to our field. Dozens of guest artists at the click of a finger. Great overview to very specific details in every technical theatre area. In addition to it's great lecture support, these DVDs make great tutors for those special students."

"The PTT programs are great! Since I started using them, I have been able to get my students out of the classroom and on stage working weeks earlier than before I got the programs."
-Bill Townsend
Nixa HS, Nixa MO
"The programs are a must have for theatre teachers no matter what their level of technical experience.
Technical theatre in the high school much of the time is neglected by the teacher because they feel they don't have the confidence because they lack proper knowledge base to teach their students. The Interactive Educational Video series gives a teacher the resources to aid their own knowledge as well as the students.
I don't know of another program available that includes the National Standards, unit and daily lesson plans, and tests with keys. This program was developed by High School teachers for High School teachers. Whether you have a fully equipped theatre or use a shared common space, this program will benefit you in some way. These videos are an important part of the success in our technical theatre program."

"When I first was hired to teach theatre I was ecstatic! I was prepared for anything...except teaching Tech. What did I know? I was an actor! Then, at a conference, I meet Bob and saw his product...it was, quite literally, my salvation. The product has a relevancy to high school theatre that no other product does. Bob and Marti have made me a better Theatre Educator and I now consider myself a bonafide TECHIE!"
-Elena Villa
Arlington HS, Riverside, CA
"I was TERRIFIED about breaking down the pieces and truly, effectively, and explicitly teaching. Also, my kids were varied learners and needed audio, visual, AND kinesthetic pieces to truly learn. When I found your product I felt that I could focus on my skills and be well-supported in teaching my weaknesses. I realized how much time I was spending trying to reinvent the wheel. Your product has allowed me SO much freedom in teaching.
If I am sick, how do I explain a legitimate lesson plan to a substitute teacher? Now I don't have to worry."
