In September 2021, myself and four local theater educators visited 18 college classes (13 in-person and 5 on Zoom) and engaged 379 students in discussions about Mixed Blood Theatre's newly developed play, Animate (NOTE: This new play was approved by the program director over the summer). Feedback from teachers and students after each discussion provided clear evidence that students made connections between previous class discussions and the material we presented, and according to teacher responses, many students went to see the play after our discussions (even though the play was sold out for most of the performances).
