Laura Ansley wrote a really great piece on Study Hall that got published online today! It was written for Perspectives on History, the Newsmagazine of the American Historical Association.
The piece was written after our 6th anniversary show back in February. This was before the pandemic when people were allowed to gather and have a good time. Hopefully that time will come again soon!
As the show expanded, they began inviting guest lecturers. “It’s fun to have guests,” Yudell tells Perspectives.“ It brings in different historical expertise and knowledge. And it’s a unique outlet for sharing history with an audience that doesn’t necessarily pay attention to history.” Marbach agrees that Study Hall is a unique show in the theater’s schedule. “At other improv shows, you don’t learn,” Marbach says. “Or if you do, it’s by accident. The whole point of Study Hall is to educate people.”
