Afterpiece is a practical, story-driven podcast about Educational Theatre hosted by Billy and Annie Dragoo. Each episode explores the real work of teaching theatre — balancing creativity with classroom realities, directing shows with limited time and resources, and building programs where students learn to think, collaborate, and grow. Billy and Annie bring decades of experience as award-winning theatre educators, directors, and curriculum designers. They take listeners behind the scenes of the classroom and rehearsal hall, mixing straightforward advice with humor, honesty, and the occasional war story. Topics range from parent management and audition strategies to intimacy choreography, curriculum design, technical training, and the art of helping young performers become stronger thinkers and more confident artists. Afterpiece is created for K 12 theatre teachers, community directors, teaching artists, and anyone who believes the theatre classroom is one of the most transformative spaces in a school. With guest insights, ready-to-use tools, and conversations shaped by real classroom challenges, the podcast gives educators strategies they can apply the same day.
