Park Square Theatre Study Guides are created for teachers by teachers to introduce students to the world of the play.

The guides contain a plot summary, character information, and activities and articles that help establish the historical, literary and cultural context of the play. Study Guides are designed to be classroom-ready, allowing educators to duplicate materials for easy distribution to students.
