The new theatre-centric web comedy THAT'S EDUCATIONAL's bound to hit home for any actor, especially those who have done educational theatre tours. "Erik decides to make Nick his pet project and teach him about the dark side of educational theatre. Take a terrifying look into the mind of Erik and hopefully learn something about tech along the way. Also, pick up some dating tips from Jimmy, including lowering others' self esteem and looking intense." Check out the video.

THAT'S EDUCATIONAL focuses on the home office and touring cast of M.E.A.T.Y. (Metro Educational Atlanta Theatre for Youth), showing what life out on the road is like for a touring theatre company. Join them as they try to make a difference with today's kids, one gymnasium at a time. BroadwayWorld will be posting all of THAT'S EDUCATIONAL's episodes leading up to the sason finale on Tuesday, July 1st. Meet the cast in this video, watch the Series Premiere, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, or Episode 5.

Created by Eric Mendenhall and Matthew Myers, THAT'S EDUCATIONAL is a comic mocumentary web series about a traveling educational theatre. The story centers around the exploits of six actors and the company that sends them out on the road to use theatre as a way to teach young people valuable lessons (seven different shows, 267 dates a year). While the show itself focuses on the hilarity that ensues out on the road, it is also about the personalities of these characters and the idea that no one understands your misery more than people going through it with you.

But, if you can't wait to catch up on the show on BWW, check out their website, ThatsEducational.com and "Like" them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter @TEwebseries. Stay tuned to BWW for more from THAT'S EDUCATIONAL.
