Writing Lesson Plans for the Drama Classroom

You are one of the Rock Stars of the Youth Theatre world in my estimation. I just performed This Phone Will Explode at the Tone with my kids at District 7 One Act Festival. Your plays are GREAT to work with. The kids love the scripts and we can do lots of different things with them.

WOW!!! I always enjoy your newsletters, but the Death of a Salesman analysis, questions and activities has been my absolute favorite so far! Thank you so much for this in-depth look at a play I am teaching next quarter. I will be using most of your newsletter in my class. I love the discussion questions, activities, all of it! Thank you so much for your help - it can be hard to teach the same plays year after year and make them exciting, no matter how good they are, and it is so helpful to get something new. I'm looking forward to the next months' newsletters, as I have taught all of the "big 3" Miller plays at some point in my theatre teacher career. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I recently saw your shout out to BCHS on your blog, as well as the podcast where you spoke to some of my classmates and fellow castmembers of Stroke Static. I played Ruthie in Stroke Static and The Prioress in The Canterbury Tales. I would like to take the time to let you know just how much that performance meant to me. Participating in Stroke Static was by far one of the best, most rewarding, and life-changing experiences of my life so far. But even past that, the fact that we touched so many people in our performance really affected me. I sincerely wish that you could have been there to see it. It was truly magical. I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for the work you put into this play. I hope we made you proud!
