I love feeling not so alone. I am the only drama teacher is my district and it can be very isolating. I spent my first year digging up my own curriculum for 6 different classes and now I have DTA and it’s members as my sounding board.

Customer Appreciation

Caitlin Herst, Student Performer, Boulder Creek High School
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!
Julia Perlowski English / Drama Pompano Beach High School
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.
Gail S. Benge Drama/Advisory Teacher Whitmore Charter School of the Arts and Technology
Our high school drama class performed Drop Dead, Juliet! The principal was so impressed with the production, that despite having only three hours sleep and planning to stay only twenty-minutes, she stayed for the entire show. What impressed me the most about this play was that the students did what I asked them to do, which was to "own" the play. They just loved it so much and they had formed a very tight ensemble. They asked me if they could do the play one last time just for themselves. After it was over, everyone was very still and quiet for a minute, they knew that we had to let it go. Thank you for such a high quality script, it gave the students such a worthwhile experience!
