BIOGRAPHY
As a military kid, Martha Grace spent much of her childhood traveling with her family, and discovered an early and personal interest in the benefits of theatre for students. Participating in many drama groups in different places allowed her to experience first hand the power that theatre has to connect communities and provide a platform for young people to express themselves. She has been passionately pursuing a career as a theatre educator ever since.

"I really like how you often ask how each person is feeling that day, and you're very conscious of different people's moods each class. I feel this is very helpful in middle school and you're the only teacher I know who does it."
