About Us
Valerie Warwick, 
now residing in Brisbane, Australia, originally created Playtime Productions as a vehicle to publish and promote her plays. Since childhood in the United Kingdom, Valerie has been involved with the stage and all aspects of production. In the UK she worked as a fashion model and went on to establish her own school in London’s well known Regent Street. Valerie married an Australian and her two children were born in England. Since the family arrived in Australia, in the early eighties, Valerie has written plays, scripts and innumerable performance work. As a founder member of the Redland Academy of Dramatic Art, she developed a drama program for Downs Syndrome and for students with special needs. She has produced many large cast, major musical productions. As Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Ormiston College (Queensland), she has enjoyed the opportunity to diversify and write in other genres which has enriched and added to her vast experience as a writer.

Playtime Productions has built up a reputation for providing ‘Director/Teacher Friendly Resources’ that offer stage directions and diagrams, costume suggestions, recommended props and sound cues. Production costs are always kept to a minimum to enable low budget performances for schools and youth groups, yet all performance works are able to be upgraded to satisfy the more generous budget. All authors that come under the umbrella of Playtime Productions comply with our philosophy, ensuring ‘Director/Teacher Friendly’ remains an integral part of our publications.
Workshops: Teacher Workshops: Early Childhood teachers are able to participate in a half day, hands-on workshop. This session is designed to illustrate the connection between the key learning areas and various play activities that can result in multi skill development. Click here for the Teacher Workshop page.
Publishing: We have published books by different authors and accept submissions for publishing. We are always interested in new ideas for drama resources.
