About Amanda

I’m a drama teacher in a little community where everybody knows everybody. As a teacher I love seeing what plays can do for people, helping build confidence and bringing people together. My goal is to make this site a place for other directors and drama teachers to meet and share ideas. There’s so much I would love to learn from others and hopefully you too can find something useful on my website.
