The Perils of Modern Education is a hilarious romp through the chaos of school life - standardized theatre tests, caffeine withdrawal, even Shakespeare stressing over his college essay! Gender-flexible, easy to stage, and full of laughs.
Clowns with Guns (A Vaudeville)
by Christopher Evans
Step right up! Step right up! It’s the SCHOOL-SHOOT-O-RAMA! And the question everyone’s asking is “Am I walking out alive today?”
Clowns with Guns takes a theatrical and absurd look at the repeated and seemingly endless cycle of school violence. It happens, everyone is terribly upset, things continue on as normal, it happens again.
This story is mean. There are guns. The play puts school shooting violence out in the open and forces all of us to do the same. Read the play with this knowledge.
