The Drama Teacher Lab
For middle and high school theatre teachers who want strong structure, creative flexibility, and less time spent reinventing materials.
Built from real classroom experience.
THEN AND NOW
The Drama Teacher Lab is an all-in-one resource library for middle and high school Theatre Arts teachers — created by Marie, a veteran (and current) educator with nearly 20 years in the high school classroom, teaching both English and Theatre, and holding a Master’s degree in Theatre Arts.
These lessons, units, and production tools weren’t created in a vacuum. They were developed, taught, revised, and retaught in my real classrooms — both before the pandemic and in the years since — with today’s students in mind.
What You Get Inside the Lab
Teaching Resources
Lessons and activities developed over years of teaching — and revised to meet the needs of post-pandemic learners, including flexibility, engagement, and skill-building.
Full Units & Course Curriculum Plans
Complete units taught multiple times across different student groups, schedules, and learning environments — with pacing and scaffolding that actually works.
Production Resources
Audition, rehearsal, and crew systems shaped by over a decade of practice and the realities of building programs, confidence, and community, no matter the level of arts support at your school.
The resources inside the Drama Teacher Lab have been:
Taught in my traditional, in-person classrooms
Adapted for disrupted schedules and changing expectations
Reworked for my post-pandemic students with different needs, stamina, and confidence
Refined to rebuild what our students need NOW - collaboration, focus, and ensemble skills
Nothing here is outdated or unrealistic. It’s built for the classroom you are teaching in today.

I have been teaching high school Theatre and ELA since 2007, and I have learned MANY lessons along the way.
Teaching and running a theatre program is one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done, which I why I keep coming back for more.
Teaching and running a theatre program can also feel incredibly lonely, and I want to make sure you know that you are not alone. It is possible to love your career, run a thriving theatre arts program, AND have a life outside of school… I promise!
I know how it feels to be totally on your own with little-to-no support...
I’m Marie
Seriously - Don't Figure it All Out from Scratch
(Because I already have... a few times over! Haha!)
The Drama Teacher Lab isn’t a trend-based curriculum.
It isn't a bank of lessons created by corporate education consultants or educators who haven't taught in a classroom in recent years.
It’s a living library built from experience, resilience, and real-time adaptation.
Designed for the theatre classroom you’re teaching in now.
