Mission Statement:
Our mission is to help students learn academic content through story.
We create original plays and poems that integrate core subject matter with literacy skills, allowing students to build comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking while engaging deeply with required standards. By embedding learning inside narrative, we make instruction more memorable, meaningful, and effective—without adding time or complexity to the classroom.
Educational Philosophy:
We believe students learn best when content is experienced, not just presented.
Our work is grounded in the idea that literature is not supplemental—it is instructional. When students read, discuss, and perform narrative texts, they actively construct meaning, practice literacy skills in context, and engage cognitively and emotionally with academic material.
Our plays and poems are:
Standards-aligned across ELA, history, science, and SEL
Designed for regular instructional time, not enrichment blocks
Structured to support close reading, discussion, and performance
Flexible across multiple grade levels and learning environments
By combining academic content with narrative structure, we support deeper comprehension, stronger retention, and higher student engagement—while respecting the realities of classroom pacing and teacher workload.
Why Literature Works for Content Learning
Literature is one of the most effective vehicles for content learning because it activates multiple learning pathways simultaneously.
Narrative texts:
Provide context, helping students understand why information matters
Support memory and retention through story structure and emotional engagement
Encourage inferential thinking, perspective-taking, and discussion
Integrate vocabulary and concepts naturally, rather than in isolation
When academic content is embedded in story, students are not simply receiving information—they are interpreting it, questioning it, and applying it. Performance-based literature further deepens learning by requiring students to analyze text, collaborate, and embody ideas through voice and movement.
The result is instruction that:
Increases engagement
Strengthens literacy skills
Reinforces academic understanding
Makes learning stick
