Who We Are

We developed Stagestruck Plays as part of the work we do together for our students.
Now we are happy to be able to offer those plays to you —
along with all of our hard-learned tips and tricks from years of teaching.

Kirsten Morgan, M.Ed. taught for many years at a progressive independent school in Colorado where the arts played a large role across the curriculum. Because exposure to drama can drive academic success, she not only directed her students in an annual, abridged Shakespeare play, but also wrote and directed dramatic versions of classic books and stories beloved by people through the centuries. These were so successful that former students still speak of them as highlights of their school experience. She continues to teach various writing classes, while directing both kids and elders in Shakespeare and other plays, and loves every minute of each encounter, because, as we know, “all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

Jennifer Fay, M.A. taught both in the classroom and the science lab at an innovative school in Colorado where she witnessed the tremendous power of learning through drama and the arts. She especially enjoyed pursuing activities driven by the curiosity of students — for example, the care and feeding of leeches (hirudo medicinalis), used for healing both in medieval times and today. She continues to write self-help books for children and parents, adding to a body of work that started with a school play entitled Albert Frog Talks About Touching. She remains astonished both by the capacity for learning and the enjoyment of performance in people of all ages, for ‘tis true that “… imagination bodies forth / the forms of things unknown.”
