Teach

Full-length
Drama
2w, 3M

Overview

Five actors, three characters, one story: Ten years ago, Ken and Chris were teacher and student. Now, as principal and teacher, Ken uses a student’s suspiciously high grade as license to grill Chris until the young teacher is forced to confront both past and present. While most plays question the audience, TEACH’s gender and racial fluid construct exposes the biases that make audiences question themselves.
