School Residencies
What?! Your school has no drama program?!
Available in the greater Los Angeles area, our school residency programs provide top quality drama instruction. All of our residency programs make clear connections to literacy and address the Common Core State Standards for ELA as well as the California Arts Standards. The sequence and specific lesson plans are designed and delivered by Mr. Jonas Basom, M.Ed who has taught drama since 1993 in public and private schools.

Integrating Drama/Theatre Across the Curriculum
"This was such a positive experience for our teachers and students,
we are making plans to expand the program for next year!
Mr. Basom's modeling in the classroom was outstanding.
Teachers and students learned so much while having fun!
Excellent customer service, paperwork, and flexible scheduling
made it easy to work with Drama Education Network."
