Jason Sebacher, Founder & Managing Editor
At Gitelman & Good Publishers, our mission is to provide high school drama teachers with a curated selection of plays that resonate deeply with their students. With the goal of providing a convenient platform for selecting, purchasing, and licensing meaningful dramatic works, we also aim to nurture writers dedicated to creating impactful content for this age group.
With an MFA from the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama and nearly a decade as a volunteer theatre educator with Chicago Public Schools, I have firsthand experience writing plays and conducting workshops for teens. Witnessing the enthusiasm of teenagers for stories that are both challenging and enjoyable has inspired my commitment to providing plays with substance. Every playwright in our curated catalog has been carefully selected to ensure that we offer nothing but the best.
Our plays not only entertain but also empower students to explore the complexities of our world today. Join us as we support educators and writers in fostering a deeper engagement with the beauty and intricacies of dramatic storytelling.

Larry Little, Business Development Manager
My theatrical career spans thirty-five years and more than 100 productions—first as an actor, singer, and dancer, then as a director and producer. Along the way, I became a Certified Public Accountant, gaining an additional skill set that now informs my work as a creating producer, developing new shows.
I serve as Lead Producer at CPA Theatricals and LCG Entertainment, LLC, the companies I founded to bring musical theatre to under-served populations. Our shows tell the "Heroine’s Tale": we create strong, compelling roles for female performers, increase opportunities for female composers and directors, and expand representation onstage. Our completed projects—all licensed for international distribution and translated into two languages—serve the commercial market as well as middle school, high school, college, and community theatre performers.
I’m now thrilled to be collaborating with Gitelman & Good Publishers.
Paige Emoff, Digital Marketing Coordinator
As the Digital Marketing Coordinator at Gitelman & Good Publishers, I'm driven by my passion for the writing world and the unique playwriting that our company champions. With a degree in English, concentrated in Creative Writing from Indiana University, I’m not only a marketer but also a writer who understands the value of fresh and inspiring content.
In my role, I focus on networking with talented writers and promoting our diverse catalog of plays. I manage our social media accounts with the goal of creating genuine connections rather than coming across as a faceless corporation. I believe in engaging with our audience personally, fostering a community of creative minds, and offering high school students access to plays that break away from the norm.
Having been a theater kid myself, I know how repetitive and uninspiring it can be to see the same plays over and over (yes, I am talking about Oklahoma), which is why I’m committed to promoting unique and exciting options that spark creativity and inspiration. My mission is to grow our network, connect with fellow creatives, and pass that knowledge on to the next generation of artists.
