Education Materials
PBS-WNET
I have created a range of educational materials to support teaching PBS programming, including Great Performances’ Macbeth (starring Patrick Stewart), The Hollow Crown (starring Tom Hiddleston), and Shakespeare Uncovered’s episodes about grief in Hamlet, the witches in Macbeth, and the role of women in As You Like It, among others.
Metropolitan Opera
I contributed materials for educator guides accompanying the Met’s filmed productions, including The Merry Widow, Otello, Turandot, and others.
McGraw Hill
As part of a student reading series, I wrote bios for a variety of authors including Anton Chekhov and Theodore Roethke.
