Great Resource! I use these materials to supplement my Musical Theatre Courses for High School and Middle School. Very helpful for beginning and seasoned musical theatre and drama teachers.
I'm a first time drama teacher at a homeschool co-op and Drama Notebook has been a lifesaver! They have awesome resources that train you to teach drama well. The scripts available are fun and easy to use. I'm so glad I found Drama Notebook. The price is very good for what is available to you. I highly recommend Drama Notebook.
Awesome resources and scripts! Everything you need to work with students of all ages.
This site is FILLED with many wonderful options for your class to use, no matter the size of the class and their abilities. My students had a lot of fun with the production, and they performed with confidence, knowing that the audience was engaged and amused.
My students always enjoy the scripts we use from Drama Notebook. There is so much variety, I can find something to work for every group.
A great resource! I have always been able to find task sheets and scripts to suit my students. As a new drama teacher it has been a saving grace.
I’ve spent time going through Drama Notebook’s resources and have been consistently impressed by the quality and depth of the material. Everything is clearly structured, easy to navigate, and created with real users in mind. It’s a well-built platform with a lot of value.
Drama Notebook is great! It is easy to find exactly what you need! They have resources for all levels. There is also flexibility in the membership which makes it easy and user-friendly!
I love these products - especially the worksheets. Sometimes you just need a template to build from or script example. There are so many good products.
I only discovered Drama Notebook recently, unfortunately, because it is the best script site I have ever used. It's a brilliant way to introduce Shakespeare, with practice scripts and short versions to get students used to the language and the context. My Year 8 English class reacted so well to be able to act out short excerpts... I would recommend this site to all teachers of English/Drama.
I subscribed to find short plays to use for a class production for 14-year-old students. There was a good range and it was very easy to find what I was looking for. Having a single subscription that included perusal scripts, photocopying rights and performance rights made it easy to manage my budget.
Joined recently and so we've only started the process. We did a read through of The Tempest and the kids are having so much fun with it. I'm excited to see where we can go with scripts from Drama Notebook!
This site is a treasure trove of everything you will need to teach drama. As a part time teacher, it is very handy that you can take a break from subscription and come back when you need something.
Very useful when I started teaching drama and needed class material. I would truly recommend it to any fellow drama teacher.
An invaluable resource. I am leading my first drama class for our co-op and I did a one month subscription to access planning ideas and activities. The site is well organized and offers so many resources.
Tons of great resources! I planned my first ever theatre camp for 5-8th graders, and Drama Notebook made me feel so much more confident in planning.
What a fantastic resource!! I have years of experience acting in and assisting with shows, but teaching the skills is another story. The lesson plans here made teaching theater class so much easier and way more fun! I highly recommend it for anyone jumping into the theater classroom.
Used Drama Notebook for many years and have absolutely LOVED being able to use this incredible resource for my Theatre classes. My students absolutely loved all the games and lessons. Truly a helpful and fun resource for Theatre/Drama Teachers. They are always adding NEW awesome lessons and games! Thank you Drama Notebook!
This was a great resource to start building a drama games repertoire. I also found some great short plays with small casts, which was perfect. I will be back soon!
This is a great resource to have! The students enjoyed the variety of plays to choose from!
The plays and resources available through Drama Notebook are top quality. My students are enjoying the accessible and engaging scripts I've shared with them.
Excellent website, with resources that are wonderful to use with middle and high school students. I have asked my school to subscribe for the next academic year because there is far more here that is practical and applicable than other sites and the price is so reasonable!!
I have used this site from mid September through mid-November of 2025. I only stopped subscribing because I am waiting for permission to come through for my school to cover a continued subscription. I love that the lessons cover such a wide range of ideas from a shared group of photos for how different theatre teachers set up their classrooms, to games, to lessons that cover more advanced ideas like stage business, motivation, and subtext. Even as a veteran theatre teacher of over 20 years, this has given me some new approaches and helped me revamp some lessons in a way that saved me time. In going back and forth, trying to set up an account through my school, I have found their customer service to be amazing - very quick to respond and ready to help. I look forward to getting my year's subscription in place and coming back to the site for more resources.
Incredibly helpful resources for my drama class for students with disabilities!
What would I do without the resources from Drama Notebook? As a first-time performing arts teacher, I’ve felt truly supported and understood! From the wide variety of resources to the inspiring workshops, I’ve been able to develop my skills and feel so much more confident! I have been a member for 3 years! Don't hesitate!
Every school and school board should purchase a subscription for each of their drama teachers. The quality and quantity of the resources are unmatched anywhere. Totally worth it! You will go back to it time and time again. It not only makes teaching drama easier it also provides your students and classroom with high quality scripts and resources that are engaging and fun.
There are very few resources out there that for such a great price offer so many great lessons and easy-to-use scripts as Drama Notebook. I have used so many of the resources over several years for drama classes, rehearsals and theater camp. An excellent resource.
Fab resources which can help form full lessons or are easily adaptable to be incorporated to spice up existing lessons.
Absolutely amazing resources for a new drama teacher. I couldn't have done it without the help of Drama Notebook! Thank you.
I was very pleased with the number and variety of scripts available.
A great site for quick access to a variety of drama tools. I have used them for both in-class activities and drama club. If you don’t know where to start with your drama group, this site is a wonderful place to go!
This is probably way too long, but I kept thinking of more and more reasons I love Drama Notebook!
I am thrilled to share my enthusiastic endorsement of Drama Notebook, a truly exceptional resource for theatre and creative dramatics educators. This website stands out as the best resource I have ever encountered for theatre instruction, catering to a wide range of ages from preschool through high school seniors. I Love Drama Notebook because…

Its comprehensive and easily accessible resources, combined with exceptional value and practicality, make it an essential tool for educators at all levels. I highly recommend Drama Notebook and will continue to rely on it for my teaching needs as long as I have students.
Great resource for drama lessons!
All of the items on the Drama Notebook website are very helpful, useful and well thought out. This was a no brainer to purchase a subscription for the months I really need some extra ideas. I used this to help fill out my summer camps and incorporated them into STEM learning. I will subscribe again when I need more ideas. As a non-profit I can not afford to keep the subscription year round.
Great resource for drama teachers!
Great resource! I used it to do a play with 10 girls (ages 8-11) from a church group. Super creative plays that are easy to put a lot of kids in.
This has been a great tool. Thank you for providing it for all! Great resources to help this new drama teacher get started.
Great materials, organized and easy to find what I'm looking for, and so easy to use.
Excellent website, with practical and thoughtful resources.
This is my one-stop-shop for fast access to the right kind of script I need in so many different situations. I also appreciate all the supportive materials for teachers. Thank you for such a great site.
What an invaluable resource for drama teachers!! I have gotten so much inspiration and material for my homegrown drama school from this site. Thank you!!
Drama Notebook has been an invaluable resource as I venture into theatre education! I have found it extremely useful in providing high quality material for both a summer drama camp (ages 8-14) and an elementary drama club (grades 3-5). Extremely reasonable pricing and well-constructed lessons and scripts.
Wonderful materials, students simply love it. I wish I could have a drama course and fully focus on acting and dramatization. Thanks for your great work!
I needed to find some new scripts for middle school students and Drama Notebook was very helpful!
What a great source for homeschooling groups looking for an easy, first performance script! Thank you for making all these scripts available!
Extremely thankful for all the resources available. It’s my first time time teaching a drama class. It’s been much harder to find scripts than I expected.
Great resource for educators! My students enjoyed performing Romayo & Julie, and The Not So Mysterious Disappearance of Cinderella.
It is such a good resource! I really appreciated all of the lesson plans, they really helped me build my curriculum in the theater classroom.
Thank you Drama Notebook! During Literature Month, we used the Stone Soup script. Our homeschool group enjoyed bringing it to life. Even with just a month to practice, we were able to present to family and friends! Sending our heartfelt thanks to the scriptwriters of Drama Notebook.
