The Faculty Room

One Room Theatrics presents Bridget Carpenter’s The
Faculty Room, directed by Mike Mitrano.

PLOT:

Winner of the Kesselring Prize for Playwriting, Bridget
Carpenter’s The Faculty Room explores the darker side of high school
life from the inside of that mythic room, the teacher’s lounge. English teacher
Adam, Drama teacher Zoe, and Ethics teacher Bill, along with mysterious new
World History teacher Carver, are all taunted by the disembodied voice of
Principal Dennis on the P.A. system. Dedicated yet desperate, inspired yet
burnt out, hateful yet loving – the teachers of Madison Feury High are a bundle
of contradictions in Carpenter’s rich portrait. A funny and caustic look at how
truly messed up the relationships between teachers and students can get, The
Faculty Room erupts with gunshots, desperate longing, and a growing wave of
spiritual fanaticism. Our education system may never recover.
