My homeschool group wanted to perform a play for a local retirement community. We used this resource to find a script for them to use. It was a wonderful success.

Drama Notebook saved the day! This year, we decided to begin a drama club. We started looking for a short play that would incorporate numerous actors. When we found Drama Notebook, we were thrilled. The Mystery of the Missing Medallion was fun, well-written, and simple to learn. Thank you for sharing these resources with teachers like me! Thanks to Drama Notebook, our school put on the first play in thirty years!

Drama Notebook is an amazing resource. I am a full time home mom and homeschool my 10 year old son who is screen free. These plays and scripts have supported his passion in acting. Thank you Drama Notebook!

 by Britt

As a homeschool mom, I was excited to lead a group of 20 middle school aged kids. They were interested in drama. I have never directed a play. Drama Notebook gave me the script that worked great for our group. It gave me support and theater games to play. We have had a great four months! As a busy mom I appreciated how organized the scripts are... I could easily find something short, funny and easy.

 by Carolina

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…

1. **Comprehensive Resource Library**: Drama Notebook offers an extensive array of scripts and materials, making it incredibly versatile for teaching various concepts and producing engaging holiday programs. From beloved stories like "Three Little Pigs" and "Mother Goose" to classic Shakespearean plays, the breadth of content available is unmatched.

2. **Ease of Use**: The website is incredibly user-friendly, allowing teachers to access everything they need with just a few clicks. The intuitive design ensures that educators can efficiently find scripts, lesson plans, and thematic resources without hassle.

3. **Value for Teachers**: Drama Notebook provides outstanding value by offering a wide range of resources all in one place. The availability of a year-long Scope and Sequence, daily lesson plans, and diverse literature make it a go-to tool for planning an entire academic year.

4. **Versatility Across Age Groups**: Having taught theatre at middle school, high school, and now elementary school levels, I have found Drama Notebook equally effective across all these age groups. The resources are adaptable and relevant, supporting a broad spectrum of educational needs.

5. **Practical Workshops**: The website’s workshops for teachers are both concise and actionable, allowing educators to directly share what they’ve learned with their students. This practical approach enhances the overall teaching experience and contributes to effective classroom management.

**Conclusion:**

Drama Notebook is an invaluable asset for anyone involved in theatre and literature education. DNB would also be a valuable site for teaching ESL. 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.

I have always loved theater, and after discovering my children are theater kids, I found this site and now we've started our own drama group for homeschoolers. The information here is invaluable in this!

 by mey

1. I personally love drama. I started learning DIE since 2020. I would love to bring my knowledge into practice. However, I am new as a drama teacher and I got a lovely job to make a show with 16 3rd grade students for my daughter's school. I was honored but overwhelmed. i didn't know where to start until my classmate from DIE program introduced me to DRAMA NOTEBOOK.
2. The site is so well organized. I found more than I expected. I found structured lessons and more detailed info such as stage directions which deepened my understanding of stage show.
3. For now I need to absorb what I have learned and I can't think of anything for improvement.
Thank you so much for all the info and the idea of sharing.

 by Clare Bedford

This is fantastic site with loads of great resources and ideas. I particularly like the warm up and improv ideas.

 by Elsa

I always sign up whenever I pick up a drama class! Such a life saver when I have to teach out of my specialist area.

 by Rebekah Whittenberger

This site is a great resource for any drama class!!

 by Macae Wanberg

My theater classes of children ages 6 through 14 have just loved the play we are producing from Drama Notebook! And they were so easy to work with. I submitted some proposed changes and they bent over backwards to make sure we could have the production be just like we wanted it!

 by Shira

What an incredible site. I love teaching but one of my struggles is finding content and decent material. I am always hesitant when it comes to spending money because we all prefer the "free stuff" but I decided to take the plunge and start investing more in better material. Since doing so I am so much less stressed before a lesson and my classes seem to run a lot smoother, the kids really enjoy the material and I am a stronger and more confident teacher because of it. I remember coming home after my first "Drama Notebook infused lesson," specifically, 20 Practice Scenes for Pairs and Two Lines Game and saying to my husband, "Wow! I think that was my best class yet!" So thank you to all the amazing content creators, this material is amazing and worth every cent! Can't wait to teach my next class!

 by Adele

Drama Notebook has been a real lifesaver to this Music teacher turned Drama teacher. I’ve learned a lot from the professional development sessions I’ve watched (I’m in Australia, so I’ve watched the sessions afterwards rather than attending in the middle of the night) and the script library and other resources have been invaluable.

 by Tracy

I love this site and what it has to offer. I teach a variety of ages, and I have found so many incredible resources here. The workshops that they offer are also top notch!

 by Kaz Qutab

I'll admit I was a little skeptical when I first heard of Drama Notebook a few years ago. I very wrongly assumed that it was some kind of watered-down, elementary-teacher-with-no-actual-theatre-training type of site. While it CAN help these types of teachers, the exercises, tips, and scripts are fantastic for even seasoned drama folks. For me, it helps create a structure to a lot of the abstract techniques I've been taught myself, it sparks my imagination further, and reveals so many games I've never heard of before. The sheer volume of resources is impressive. I also attended a free workshop, and Janea and Jennifer were so warm and genuine. I definitely recommend D.N. to anyone teaching drama to kids and teens!

 by Mylène Desrochers-Clark

As a teacher in the french school system, I also have to teach english to my students. I wanted to do Read Aloud Plays and came upon this site. I love the quantity and variety of plays available!

I can't wait to use them with my students. I will definitely recommend this ressource to my colleagues!

 by Sean

The resources available on this site are incredibly helpful! So often, I've struggled to find scripts that work well for young kids and teens. Having such a wealth of these scripts has made my job so much easier!

 by Erin

Really valuable resources! Super helpful website that has helped me a lot.

 by Meredith B

Great bang for your buck if you need some inspiration and new ideas. I work with adults with a variety of disabilities and many of these activities are easily modifiable for the population I serve. I love the wide variety of themes and topics covered and the fact that it is evident that the scripts, games and activities have been tested by a real theatre teachers.

 by Abi

Amazing site. Staggering amount of available resources. Would recommend

 by Kris Holsen

Always an excellent place - and one of the few places - to find great scripts for my elementary actors. A lifesaver!

 by Melanie

Drama Notebook has a great selection of plays for all ages.

 by Alyssa

Great site to get some new scripts to look through! I was very impressed by the diverse scripts and especially loved the classics. Thanks for putting together such a fabulous site!

 by Blaine

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!

 by Izzy Swanson

Love everything about this site… including prompt help when needed. Thanks

 by Laura Pace

Thank you for saving my junior high drama class! You have given me so much material I can never get through all of it. Cheers, Laura

 by Anne Morgan

I found the DRAMA NOTEBOOK fabulous. It saves time planning and would be very helpful for new teachers. Also valuable for teachers who have been away from teaching. I was in this position for a while. It keeps you up to date and I liked the stated age groups catered for and the subjects and content covered. The "Professional Development" workshops are a must for all teachers no matter their experience. Information sharing from experienced teachers is so enriching.

 by DianaM

I just found the Drama Notebook and it offers variety of activities and ideas for school lessons and extra-curricular activities with my students. Thanks!

 by Laura Di Staulo

I use Drama Notebook daily! My middle school students love practicing with their scripts and there is always something new and interesting for the kids.

This website has helped me so much!!! I would recommend it to anyone who teaches theatre!

 by Aisha

I have loved the lesson plans and scripts from this website! Everything is easy to put into action in class. The resources are also easy to tweak and make your own. I would recommend this to any theater teacher or general education teacher looking to add more theater to their classroom.

 by CC

I’ve been quite happy with the selection and variety that Drama Notebook has offered and use the resource for my homeschool group.

 by Tim Wood

This is a great site for when you have no idea what to do with a class. The plays and activities work so great for middle school and jr. high. I've used a few of them for my high school kids as well.

 by Coralie

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!

 by Kellie Wisthoff

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!

 by Jillian Spencer

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!

 by Roxanne Fox

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!

 by Kristen Green

Great site and great prices for so many resources! Thank you

 by Heather

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.

 by Penelope Baquero

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.
