When learning comes to life, everything changes.

See what happens when imagination steps into the lesson plan.

The lesson is solid. The plan is clear.

But something isn't landing. You can feel it – the gap between what you're teaching and what they're taking in.

The energy fades, the clock ticks louder, and curiosity feels just out of reach.

The energy fades, the clock ticks louder, and curiosity feels just out of reach.

Then, something different.


A melody ties to the meaning.


A story wraps around the standard.


A once-quiet student lights up with a line, a movement, a song.

Eyes meet. Hands lift. The room begins to breathe again.

Eyes meet. Hands lift. The room begins to breathe again.

They're not just remembering it.
They're feeling it.

What started as a lesson turns into a shared experience.
Students don't just follow along – they lead. They build confidence, empathy, and the courage to take creative risks.

And suddenly, the classroom feels like a community again.

And suddenly, the classroom feels like a community again.

Now, the facts stick because they're connected to a feeling.
The concepts deepen because they've been lived.
And the test scores? They rise – because comprehension is no longer surface-level.

It's ownership. It's joy.

It's learning that lasts long after the curtain closes.

What's in the Playbox?

Everything you need to put on a show – no theater degree required

Each Mary’s Musical Enrichment play is a complete, ready-to-teach experience that brings curriculum content to life through music, movement, and storytelling.

Whether you’re a classroom teacher, homeschool parent, or after-school leader, every detail is designed so you can focus on what matters most — your students’ joy and engagement.

Inside every Playbox:

Original Songs that Teach

Catchy, curriculum-aligned music that makes facts unforgettable. Each song is written to reinforce key learning objectives – so students don’t just memorize, they internalize.

(Music is professionally recorded, age-appropriate, and easy to teach even if you’re not “musical.”)

Scripted Story with Educational Themes

A short, classroom-friendly play that blends storytelling with core concepts.


The scripts are simple enough for young performers, yet layered with meaning that supports comprehension and empathy.

Optional Add-Ons:

Curriculum Connection Guide

Detailed alignment with educational standards — showing exactly how each song, scene, and activity reinforces learning objectives.

Perfect for administrators or teachers who need clear academic justification for arts integration.

Educational Support Documents

Printable enrichment materials: lyric sheets, reflection questions, comprehension activities, and visual aids that extend learning beyond the performance.

Ideal for reinforcing retention and helping students make deeper connections.

Whether you’re teaching from a classroom, a living room, or an after-school program, every Playbox is built to help you bring out the best in your students — without extra prep, training, or stress.

It’s plug-and-play creativity that inspires confidence and ignites learning.

Why it works

Backed by Experience. Built for Joyful Learning.

Every song, script, and lesson in Mary’s Musical Enrichment is crafted with the heart of a teacher and the mind of a curriculum designer.

Mary Resenbeck brings over 25 years of classroom, homeschool, and arts education experience — merging creative expression with research-backed learning strategies.

Mary’s Musical Enrichment isn’t accidental magic — it’s the result of decades spent teaching, designing curricula, and watching what truly makes students light up.

Each play is built on sound educational design principles:

  • Active Learning: Students learn best by doing. Performing engages multiple neural pathways, strengthening comprehension and recall.

  • Arts Integration: Music, storytelling, and movement help students form emotional and cognitive connections to academic concepts.

  • Inclusivity & Differentiation: Plays are structured to support neurodiverse and mixed-ability classrooms — everyone has a role to shine in.

  • Standards Alignment: Each script and song connects directly to core subject standards, ensuring administrators and teachers can trust the academic value.

The result?

Students remember more, collaborate more, and believe in their own potential.

“When learning feels alive, every child shines.”

FAQ's

Got Questions? We got you.

We know you want to make sure it fits your classroom, your students, and your schedule — and we’ve got answers for all of it.

Here’s what most educators ask before their first show (and why they end up saying, “I wish I’d found this sooner.”)

Do I need theater experience to use this?

Nope! Every play comes with a complete step-by-step guide and 17-week schedule. If you can teach a lesson, you can direct a show. We’ve made it simple, flexible, and fun — no stage experience required.

What age groups are these plays for?

Most plays are designed for grades 2–8 and are easily adaptable for mixed-age groups. Each script includes role variations and pacing tips to meet your students right where they are.

Can I use this with my homeschool co-op?

Absolutely! Our plays are made to work beautifully in small settings — co-ops, family pods, or one-on-one instruction. You’ll have everything you need for a complete, joyful performance experience.

Is this standards-aligned?

Yes – especially our Academic Play Bundles, which includes a full Curriculum Connection Guide. Every play supports cross-subject learning and builds real academic comprehension through music, storytelling, and collaboration.

How much time does it take to prepare?

Each play follows a 17-week lesson plan that integrates seamlessly into your teaching schedule — about 2–3 short sessions per week. You’re not adding more work; you’re bringing more life to the work you’re already doing.

Can I perform the play publicly or record it?

Yes! Every Playbox includes performance and music licensing — so you can share your students’ hard work with families and your community, worry-free.

Note: While every Playbox includes music and performance licensing for classroom and community use, please ensure compliance with your local privacy and recording regulations. If you plan to record or share performances featuring minors, obtain parental or guardian consent as required by your school or district policies. We’re not legal advisors — always double-check your locale/organization’s guidelines before distributing any recordings publicly.

Do I need special equipment or a stage?

Not at all. These plays are designed for any space – a classroom, a gym, a library, or your living room. Just enthusiasm, creativity, and a few printed pages are all you need to start.
