“Having the Toolmaker Productions team in my classroom has been a gift. The Roots of Tension film and follow-up workshop had my students thinking about complex issues in a safe, collaborative way. This experience is great for any high-school-age as it is built to meet students where they are at. While they worked specifically with my intermediate-acting students, I could see this working in a number of educational environments. I will happily invite Toolmaker Productions back to my classroom for years to come!”—Britnee Kenyon, Theatre Director at Deerfield High School in Deerfield, Illinois.

“It was a wonderful experience sharing A Price to Pay with my eighth grade drama students.  The film tied into our units on documentary theater and ‘identity in art making.’ Having Allie and Legrand visit via zoom after we watched the film was invaluable for my students. It was both a magic peek behind the curtain, as well as a practical foundation for how professional theater artists and filmmakers produce their craft.”—Katherine Banks McBride, Drama Teacher, Middle School; Forensics Assistant Coach, Middle and Upper School; Fine and Performing Arts Department at Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
