Danielle W - Dramallama Testimonial

I love the flexible casting!

"You are in the driver's seat with casting. Each play can be cast with as many or as few actors as you need for your theatre program. They even allow you to change the gender of characters. This personalized touch creates impactful theatrical experiences for our students."

Danielle W | Hoboken Junior / Senior High School

Matt Peters - Dramallama Testimonial

The one-act plays from dramallama are FANTASTIC.

"The scripts are fun, modern, and really connect with our kids at every age level. Our students love performing them, and the audience feedback has been amazing. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill one-acts—they’re fresh, exciting, and perfect for middle and high school theater."

Matt Peters | Head Theatre Director, The Woodlands HS / Executive Board President, Texas Thespians

Michelle Robbins - Dramallama Testimonial

Dramallama’s all-access Licensing Plan has been such a great fit for our theatre program.

"Unlimited performances and script printing? Yes, please! We’ve saved so much money, and I don’t have to stress over changing a line or gender that doesn’t work for my program or community! It’s made my job easier and given me more time to focus on the students and the show."

Michelle Robbins | Theatre Teacher / Rampart HS, Colorado Springs
