The Past Is Always Present Educational Theater Project

The Past Is Always Present

From the Classroom to the Stage!

We're bringing to life powerful, untold stories that have been erased from our U.S. history education — to inspire, educate, and entertain!

 

 

Case Studies

Each case study includes a Teacher's Guide, Student Guide, video introduction, "Deep Dives & Backstories" episode from UnErasing LGBTQ History and Identities: A Podcast, and a 24" x 36" classroom poster. Printer-friendly pullouts from the student guide include Historical Background and Context, Links to Digital Primary and Secondary Sources, "Primary Source Improv" Activities, Analysis and Discussion Questions, and the Case Study Question.
