This is the most valuable and helpful drama resource I have ever found! I can find everything and anything I need and so much more. I am incredibly grateful for the hard-work and research that has gone into all of the Drama Notebook resources. Thank you for inspiring teachers and students and making high-quality materials so accessible!
Drama Notebook is an amazing tool for anyone who is teaching drama! It has made planning for classes so much easier and it's nice to have a community of people willing to help with any questions!
Drama Notebook has been a lifesaver for me! As a first-time theater camp teacher, I absolutely needed a resource like this to ensure I had everything I would need at a moment's notice to ensure my classes went smoothly. I ended up downloading much more than I thought I would need, and thank goodness it was there so that I could focus on the kids. It was amazing to know that my curriculum was taken care of so I could work on developing my own skills. Thanks, Drama Notebook!
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.

I Love Drama Notebook because…

I highly recommend Drama Notebook and will continue to rely on it for my teaching needs as long as I have students.
As someone who has never taught drama, I believe this resource has been imperative to my students and me. The resources are endless. My students expressed interest in set design and I was happy to see that there were resources for this exploration on Drama Notebook. The various games we have played have been very helpful as well. I have greatly enjoyed teaching Drama, hear my students say, "drama is actually fun!" and I have Drama Notebook to thank!
Aloha! I've been utilizing your resources for two years now, and the only reason I've cancelling this subscription, is because my company accidentally doubled up! Please keep up the wonderful work you do!!! Mahalo!
I have been using Drama Notebook for years to teach theatre classes for ages 5-13, and love all their resources! From plays for casts of all sizes, to improv games, to monologues, and so much more- they have it all. I love finding new games to play with my students as well as new ways to use some of the favorites. I would highly recommend DN to any theatre teacher of all ages.
The Drama Network materials have helped me develop a great deal of confidence in my teaching skills. Drama Network is a great companion for folks who aspire to be excellent theater arts teachers and I highly recommend them.
This resource has been very helpful in drama classes! I've loved the seasonal themed activities. I'm just newly retired and love it, but I miss using this resource with drama students.
Love this resource! There are so many great "in 30 minutes" versions of classics- exactly what I need for my tiny school and young students!
All of these resources are so helpful as I teach an Elementary ESL drama club. It's been a life saver.
I'm won over. I teach middle school, and I--at one time--thought the material "too juvenile" for my students. I just didn't dig deep enough. This past year, I took the time and listened to others in my different groups about how great Drama Notebook is. I have found plays, lessons, resources, and other materials that makes my drama-teaching life so much easier and better! Thank you, Drama Notebook, for the treasures within your site! I'm a convert!!
I have used the resources on Drama Notebook for the past 10 years and really encourage all Drama teachers to subscribe. There is a wealth of resources and these really helped enrich my program!
Excellent resources and lesson plans for busy teachers!
Drama Notebook is an excellent resource for anyone who works with youth in the theater. I've used a couple scripts from here and gotten great ideas. It's all quality work and very user friendly.
This site is a GOLDMINE for any drama teacher. The level of detail in each plan is brilliant. It's a very supportive resource for all teachers.
Drama Notebook is a treasure trove of theater making materials. I have built my library of exercises, games and scripts and thanks to Drama Notebook I am a better and more prepared drama teacher. Highly recommended. -Ben
I teach a junior high drama class and I originally signed up just to buy a couple scripts for our performances, but I ended up staying subscribed because of all the resources available! I found that the amount of downloads per months is perfect and I used them for lesson plans, drama games, mini scripts just for fun, and they even have special drama-related activities for different holidays. Most downloads are only one credit so I didn't have to stress about running out of credits. The search feature is really good, and I love that all the skits and plays make it clear how many characters and the running time so I can skim over them quickly. Some of the resources I worked into my lesson plans so I will be using them over and over again! I have been really pleased with the subscription.
Drama Notebook is an indispensable resource for any theatre teacher.
All of these resources are so helpful. You could definitely use it for your drama lessons.
Great website! Inspires creativity and my students love the scripts!
Last year was my first time teaching Drama and Drama Notebook was a life-saving resource! I found all the resources I needed to create engaging and memorable classes for my elementary school students. I even put on a Christmas production with one of the scripts provided on Drama Notebook. I recommend this resource for any Drama teacher but especially for new teachers like me who don't know where to start.
I just started teaching theater last year. I needed more resources. This site helped me so much with lessons and ideas. Thank you!
Drama Notebook is a game-changer! I taught theater to middle school kids and drama notebook really eased my anxiety about how to choose the right curriculum for the kids. The lessons are fun and educational to boot!
Drama Notebook has been an excellent resource as I build a brand new elective that I am teaching this year - Intro to Theater for 7th grade.
I absolutely loved using Drama Notebook especially under pressure with planning classes. There’s so many materials to choose from and it made the teaching part a lot of fun! Definitely recommend!!
Great resources, and well explained, with new things that come out regularly. I haven't exhausted the packs I've downloaded yet, but regularly use something new. It has been very helpful with specific areas, such as age-ranges that I'm not as familiar with, and also have been using great exercises for ESL teaching in drama.
I owe Drama Notebook a BIG "Thank you!" for providing me with so many new warm-up games and acting tips that I implemented at a camp I worked at this past summer. I'm looking forward to sharing more activities with my Drama Club students this school year. We have a "Back to School Bash" this week. For one activity I'm challenging the actors with performing "instant skits." Students will be given 5 minutes to read, block & then present for their peers their skit. I selected "Wake Up! and "It's Raining Cats & Dogs!" from Drama Notebook. I'll let you know how this goes! LOL!
As a junior high teacher with no prior experience in teaching theatre, I was initially nervous about taking on an 8th-grade drama class. Finding Drama Notebook was a lifesaver! The variety of activities and scripts made planning for my drama class not only manageable but also enjoyable. The materials are engaging, well-structured, and perfectly suited for a variety of age groups. Drama Notebook gave me confidence in my ability to fulfill the expectations of my students and administrators. I highly recommend a subscription for any teacher, new or experienced!
This is the best website for pros and newbies! Wonderful to get my ideas going, and activities are always a hit with my kids!
I have used this site for two years. It is a great filler for any theater class of all ages!
I love Drama Notebook! Whenever I teach drama, I have my school use this curriculum. I’ve taught 5th-12th with it and
everyone enjoys it! I love how the lessons are premade and easy to prep for.
Drama Notebook is a comprehensive site and has helped me with a range of levels and class situations. The resources are good. Lots of ideas. This is a good site to meet many of the needs of an inexperienced drama teacher like me.
Drama Notebook has been a refreshing change from the same old lessons I had been using for the past few years. I highly recommend it for both new and veteran teachers at all grade levels!
I have loved everything I have come across on this website from scripts, to lessons, to games! My drama club kids have loved every second of it! Thank you for a wonderful year!
Great site for all things Drama. Outstanding.
I would recommend Drama Notebook to any drama/performing arts teacher, especially if you're teaching it for the first time. The resources are detailed, creative and fun. There are so many wonderful lesson plans, drama games, and scripts to choose from - the hardest part about planning my semester was just trying to decide what activities to do! The access to free resources is great, however, I do think the monthly subscription is totally worth it, even if you only do it for a few months.
Excellent resources for students to learn the art of drama. We have used several of these plays and skits for our school and have been fully satisfied with their use.
Finally! A place that has short, appropriate scripts for students on a range of topics that are actually good!
Drama Notebook is so helpful for finding resources, especially for my younger students. I appreciate the variety.
I taught Drama grades 6-8 for 5 years and having this resource was a life saver.
I am in absolute love with Drama Notebook. They offer so many amazing resources in one place. It's an amazing deal and often times their resources also help spark ideas within me that maybe wouldn't have been sparked otherwise. Their customer service is top notch and I can't stress how invaluable that is.
Useful resource. I used it over the summer for a drama class I was teaching. Easy to use! Definitely recommend the resource.
I am not a drama teacher, but we were wanting to do some fun Shakespeare acting for our history unit this year. I was scouring the internet and library for something doable but not cheesy. I was blown away by the quality and variety of Drama Notebook! They have exactly what I was looking for! I would recommend this resource to any teacher.
Drama Notebook has been a go to for resources for the last several years for me. I am so grateful that my school has paid for my subscription for all these years. The materials, downloads, scripts and all the fun ideas has given me loads of fun for my students young and old.
Lots of easy to use materials at your fingertips! I have used several scripts and other lessons to supplement my Middle School Theater class curriculum. Many good ideas and projects in here.
Finding useful, quality drama teaching materials has never been so easy! I am grateful my school paid for the year-long subscription. Drama Notebook has been my go-to for quick materials and add-on materials to my courses. Thank you for providing new ideas and your drama expertise!
As an elementary school theatre teacher, Drama Notebook has been such a lifesaver! Hundreds of monologues, scenes, plays that are AGE APPROPRIATE.
Love the variety and volume of materials! A great resource.
Drama Notebook was a huge help for me. As a new Drama teacher whose background was Language Arts, not Theatre Arts, I truly appreciate the start and guidance into the beginning process of teaching acting, theatre history, theatre games, warmups, etc. Thank you Drama Notebook - you'll be missed.
