Engage Every Student Through
Radio Theater

Especially reluctant performers and hesitant speakers.

A proven classroom method that builds confidence, participation, and voice—without the pressure of traditional performance.

A practical, teacher-tested approach for reluctant performers and hesitant speakers

Hi, I’m Deb Baldwin.

I’m a veteran drama teacher and director with over 38 years of classroom and stage experience.

Over the course of my career, I taught middle school drama to every student in my building—not just those who already loved performing. Along the way, I learned firsthand what doesn’t work for reluctant, hesitant, or disengaged learners.

That experience led me to develop the radio theater approach shared in We’re Live! Radio Theater #101—a practical, classroom-tested method that allows students to build confidence, participation, and voice without the pressure of traditional performance.
