Leah Stuhler is a 2002 É«×ۺϾþà graduate with a BA in theatre and a minor in journalism. Leah is the middle school drama teacher at Dent Middle School in Columbia, South Carolina, teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. In addition to teaching students about theatre, she is in charge of every aspect of the school’s productions—directing, production, rehearsal schedules, lights, sound, designing the programs, making the cast T-shirts, marketing, and more.
She also is the creator and host of “YA Book Chat,” a podcast she began three years ago about young adult books. In each episode, she chats with a guest—sometimes an author—about a different book.
She also has written and published two books of her own: “Mystery Trip,” which celebrates grandparents, and “The Cupcake Bullies,” a tale inspired by her son, who has a life-threatening food allergy.
