@SteeleThoughts @JulieEdTA ‘Quality is not an accident’ - I repeat this often to myself, to my students, to my colleagues, to anyone really. About theatre, about one’s work, about oneself.

What looks easy is the result of intention and practice.

Nothing like a child over the moon w/ joy when their costume is approved, squealing w/ delight as they run to their friends, "Oh, I look like a pretty princess!" in an outfit that's been worn dozens of times prior for everything from a corpse to a bride! #middleschooltheatre

Gotta love when kids leave notes on your desk for you to find. Thank you notes; we borrowed something notes; we returned something notes; silly notes just to say, hi, notes.

And all of them, regardless of which student left them, is signed, "Your favorite student!"

I love it!

@NicholasFerroni Oh, I might steal this lesson and tweak it for Middle School Theatre! Thank you!

The most documented genocide in history is happening before your eyes.

Your silence is complicit.

[MoTaz @motazazaiza9]

You are all useless
Without shame watching us getting killed one by one
Will wait my turn to be killed by Israel
And believe me you are gonna do nothing

Truth

[Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischfresser]

STEM is one thing. STEAM is another whole proposition altogether. The Arts power young people. They power their confidence, they power their discipline, they power their creativity, they power their health and wellbeing, and they power their holistic development.

@JayWamsted One of the best compliments I ever received was during my 1st year out of uni by a lounge full of veteran teachers who told me, as I wondered out loud why the district in which I was subbing repeatedly called me for MS, was that it was because I could handle it when most couldn't

Related stories on fall break to friends and family of my theatre kids' antics only bolsters just how much I love teaching Middle School Theatre.

Over 40 students came to audition for this year’s combined middle and high school fall production!

I’m absolutely over the moon! 🥰

Someone recently told me that “difficult to work with” often really means “difficult to take advantage of” in creative industries, and I haven’t stopped thinking about that for weeks

The only thing I talk about more than learning and education is my dog. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's a summer of reading new, rereading old, and reflecting on it all. Versions of everything are being updated.

[Kaleroy Zervos 🇬🇷🇺🇸🇨🇴🇮🇳 (she/her) @KaleroyZ]

@NicholasFerroni So many with 20 years under their belt. So many for whom it is more than a dream job. So many who have honed their craft and mentored others. So many for whom integrity outweighs ambition crushed by those who balance is the opposite.
Take care, my colleague. This summer we rest.

@VFleischfresser And theatre! 🎭🩰

Sometimes following US politics as a theatre educator gets confusing when an individual is referred to by their last name and you immediately think, JUDY! 🎭🤣
