About the Author

Suzi Zimmerman is no stranger to performance. She grew up in theatre and eventually founded an acting company, which evolved into her hometown's community playhouse. She found her true love in teaching, but at that time, there were few resources available for middle and high school drama teachers. To bridge the gap, she began collecting and designing her own creative, hands-on lessons and organizational forms and has published them into a collection of books. She has directed and appeared in over 200 plays and has also appeared in dozens of TV commercials and industrial videos. She retired from teaching in 2008 but continues to influence young people through her extensive volunteer work.
