MAB Compendium 2.0

When it became apparent that the Covid-19 pandemic would change the educational landscape, the creators of MAB knew that it would become difficult to effectively teach Technical Theatre digitally. Realizing that there was already a lack of resources for educators in the content area, MAB decided that we would create a collection of resources, a compendium, to assist teachers both in their digital and physical classrooms.

Get Started Today

• We have put the compendium into the hands of over 90 teachers, directors, and professors. We have even been able to serve the tech community all over the country and even internationally. 

• The compendium has an entire year's worth of lessons, over 15 technical theatre units. A year-at-a-glance is included but you can pick and choose how you want to structure your year.

• All lessons are designed to be used on Google slides and can be implemented in both in-person and virtual classrooms. 

• Compendium includes teacher presentations and student templates. Supplemental materials such as exams, handouts and answer keys are also included. 

• Webinar recording talks you through the entire compendium, lesson per lesson.

• Private Facebook group for support beyond the compendium.

Unit 1 - Welcome week, theatre tech history and basics
