I was not an experienced drama teacher and found myself (a Music major) teaching Drama and directing productions. DTA was an answer to my need of direction and focus. The materials are there in every subject area and concern. These have been a lifeline for me.

Customer Appreciation

Nancy Arndorfer, Merrill High School
I sincerely enjoyed directing your creation. There were lots of wonderful characters and I had a great bunch of students with creative ideas. Many of the plays I read before I chose one have similar themes but yours piqued my interest in the first couple of pages.
Jeff Pinsky, Beaconsfield High School
We wrapped on Somewhere, Nowhere last week. Largest audience my department has ever had, and my kids had a flawless run. Translation: the BEST production I've ever done. The laughs, the raw emotion, the tears of joy and sorrow when it was all over... my grads loved this play, and so did I.
Barbara Dial Mager, Theatre Teacher/Director, David W. Butler High School, Matthews, NC
My students are really enjoying this challenging play! They love the message & love that it's not hitting us over the head with it. I'd like to thank you for understanding that high school students can handle more challenging material. I get so tired of playwrights & publishers who think that we need to dumb down material for high school.
