This is so helpful!

I love this podcast! As a new theatre teacher taking over a program -this podcast has been so helpful. Not only is it full of great ideas and insights, but it has also helped me feel less alone as I embark on this exciting opportunity in the theatre. Thank you for helping this young theatre educator all the way in Kansas!

I can’t stop listening!

I just started listening to Afterpiece, and I can’t stop!!! I’m so grateful for all of the knowledge shared. All theatre teachers, and those who plan to become theatre teachers should listen. I even played the one about creating a brand to one of my classes today! We designed a company logo and are working on a motto. Thanks again for all that you guys do for theatre in Texas!

I am beyond grateful to have found this podcast as I navigate through my first year as a high school theatre director.
