Setting the Stage
Welcome to Playful Performance Press, a script publisher, ….We celebrate a world of music and dramatic arts where every show brings learning and fun all wrapped up in one!
We celebrate the magical world of performance and offer well-rounded versatile material that caters to stimulating and developmental experiences for students/actors, teachers/directors and all those who participate in creating a live stage play … including the audience!
All of our shows have been performed many times by schools, children’s theaters, home school organizations, church groups and community theaters throughout the US. We know it’s a team effort to put a show together. We hope you will take this tried and true material and make theater magic however it works best for you!

With a lifelong love for music and storytelling, I’ve had the joy of blending both into a career dedicated to inspiring young performers.
I studied vocal performance at Indiana University before touring the U.S. and Europe as a professional singer. But my true passion has always been theater—especially for young artists.
As co-founder of The Repertory Company Theatre in Richardson, TX, I spent 17 years as resident playwright and musical director, helping shape a vibrant community of performers. My journey has also taken me into creative consulting with students and professors at Northwood University, Big Thought Dallas, Rainbow Days, Inc., and the Catholic Diocese Television Network.
Through my work with The ASCAP Foundation (NYC) under Stephen Schwartz and Musical Theatre Works, I gained invaluable insights into musical storytelling. Over the years, I’ve written 50 musicals, performed in schools, community theaters, churches, and homeschool organizations across the country.
I believe in the transformative power of theater—especially in the formative years when creativity, confidence, and collaboration take root. Watching young people grow through performance is the most rewarding part of my work, and I’m thrilled to continue sharing stories that inspire and uplift.
