Theatre teachers are always looking for more resources for their classrooms and their students. We’ve got six below that are designed to make your life easier as a theatre teacher.

1. Show-Score

Why: Ever wished there was a Rotten Tomatoes style site for theatre? Now there is!  “Collectively, we see lots of theater. If even a small number of us review a show, we can help everyone find shows they will like.”

Visit the website here.

2. On The Stage

Why: Ever wished there was a one stop shop online to promote your shows, sell tickets and merchandise online? ON THE STAGE works to help high schools, colleges, and community and regional theatres promote, sell, and manage their productions online at no charge to you!

3. Arts Edge

Why: Ever wished you could find quality lesson plans online? Since the Kennedy Center’s opening in 1971, schoolchildren, parents and educators have turned to us as the nation’s premiere cultural resource. Embracing this responsibility, the Kennedy Center instituted ARTSEDGE in 1996 as its educational media arm, reaching out to schools, communities, individuals and families with printed materials, classroom support and Internet technologies.

4. The New Play Exchange

Why: Ever wished you could search for new plays by up and coming playwrights? The NPX is a cloud-based script management system that lets you find, read, and evaluate exactly the plays you’re looking for, enhanced by the insight of literary managers, dramaturgs, and other professionals throughout the new play sector.

5. Playbill EDU

Why: Ever wished you could search for colleges all in one place? PlaybillEDU.com is a comprehensive searchable database of more than two thousand undergraduate theatre, dance and music programs at more than a thousand colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada.

Designed to help college-bound and potential transfer students find and compare programs that suit their individual career plans, PlaybillEDU.com allows young people interested in the performing arts to learn about a greater variety of education opportunities than can be found through traditional college search websites that lack the detailed information tailored to the specific needs of performing arts students.

6. The MT Pit

Why: Ever wished there was a site that sold awesome tracks for musicals? The MT Pit is the Premier Broadway instrumental track library that provides all-live, world-class tracks for theaters and educational institutions.
