Student Testimonials

  • “You have been one of my favorite teachers, I love how accessible and thought-provoking your curriculum is. I have learned so many more works of theatre that have individually resonated or enlightened me because of you, thank you for making me inspired and want to try theatre again.”

  • “This class changed my life. Erin is an excellent professor.”

    CU Boulder Student, 2022, “Women, Gender, and Pop Culture”

  • “Professor Kaplan has been my favorite professor at Sacramento State. Everyday I know I’m going to learn something and be engaged. I feel encouraged to speak up in class as other classes I have failed to because I was not comfortable. She definitely deserves all the praise and the school needs to keep her at all costs!”

    Sacramento State Student, 2022, “Multicultural Perspectives in US Theatre”

  • "I got a lot more out of this class than expected.[...] I not only learned things about myself and my culture but I also learned more about my career. [...] The class just overall woke me up in the best of ways. I never thought I would be thinking so critically and coming up with the discussion posts I have produced this semester. I loved this class and I can genuinely say I am proud of my growth within my school work and outside of it. "

    Sacramento State Student 2023, “Global Theatre History II”

  • "Erin is a wonderful teacher. She teaches in detail and gives the students an opportunity to speak and reflect on the readings and videos or whatever course work we have for the day. I really admire her work ethic as a teacher because I can tell that she cares about us the students. She’s kind, helpful, and just amazing."

    Sacramento State Student 2023, “Women & Gender: Staging Diversity:

  • "I really enjoyed this class. I joined it because I needed to fulfill a requirement, but I would totally recommend this class to other people. Dr. Kaplan is one of the best professors I've had because she is so in touch with us and is willing to hear us out and listen to our opinions."
