The plays I've seen and the discussions I've been a part of have really helped me gain and spread knowledge on subjects that I've always felt weren't talked about enough. AddVerb has a great style of presenting information in a way that catches people's attention and helps correct the myths that people have.
I have seen Add Verb presentations at several schools. At the time, I was doing similar presentations for a different organization, but the Add Verb ones were much more involved and had a well-organized small-group conversation afterwards and curricula support for teachers and schools to have more conversations before and after the show. I was very impressed with the whole process. Years later, and I still follow AVP to see how they're doing, and periodically see if a show is near me so I can go see one again. When my child is old enough, I'll be taking him too.... Every school should have them come in, and I'll be pushing my son's schools in years to come to bring them in too.
Add Verb's productions are Powerful. Dispensing of candy-coating, they tell their stories with dramatic simplicity that leave you deeply moved. Their follow-up conversations with their audience, and collaboration with participating schools is brilliant--paving the way to affect real change and action.
