Classroom – Ready Drama Resources
Resources developed, tested, and refined in my own drama classroom—designed to be flexible, engaging, and easy to implement.
Intermediate Drama
A complete semester-long curriculum for intermediate drama students that moves beyond theatre basics into character investigation, acting choices, and script analysis.
Technical Theatre
Stagecraft Made Simple is a series made for the busy drama teacher that has to do it all. The series simplifies the processes for technical elements of play production.
Playwriting
Great for Drama, English, or Creative Writing classes, this playwriting unit helps teachers put together a 10-minute play writing project with a flexible, step-by-step structure.
What Teachers are Saying
“The lessons build naturally from one concept to the next, and the combination of lessons, activities, handouts, assessments, and answer keys made planning so much easier. It saved me a significant amount of preparation time and gave me the confidence and structure I needed to teach drama effectively.”
★★★★★ — The Manitoba Teacher, Teachers Pay Teachers
“I needed something that would take me—and the students—step-by-step through what needed to be taught and how to do it. This product has been an absolute lifesaver. I wish I had purchased it first!”
★★★★★ — Alaina Grade, Drama Teacher & TpT Seller
“The parts I used were amazingly thoughtful and planned. I was able to use them with students who hadn’t signed up for a theatre elective and get them engaged, including students with varying levels of ability both academically and theatrically.”
★★★★★— Randi Morrow, High School Theatre Teacher & TpT Seller
Why This Work Matters
Drama isn’t about memorizing lines—it’s about voice, empathy, collaboration, and courage. Every resource I create is designed to help students take creative risks while giving teachers clear structure and flexibility.
