Arts & Culture is a collection of ongoing everyday theatre criticism, observations, and notes.

Thoughtful theatre arts criticism from a former theatre arts teacher and theatre history scholar. This division of Theatre Follies is also developing theatre arts education classroom materials and lesson plans for use by theatre teachers and students. Part of the research appears in the context of the Technopolis Tales internet stories. (See also The Real Coach.)
