Drama High: The Incredible True Story of a Brilliant Teacher, a Struggling Town, and the Magic of Theater, or simply Drama High, is a 2013 nonfiction book by The New York Times Magazine writer Michael Sokolove that follows a year in the life of the drama program of Harry S. Truman High School in Levittown, Pennsylvania.

In his 40 years of teaching there, Volpe revolutionized the theater program in Levittown, Pennsylvania, a blue-collar town that has been on a slow economic downswing since the 1960s.

"[5] In January 2017, NBC ordered a pilot from Jason Katims based on Sokolove's book.

Katims wrote the script, and also served as an executive producer alongside Jeffrey Seller, Michelle Lee and Flody Suarez.
