School Daze

School Daze

by Lindsay Price

You remember middle school. That first day can be a funhouse or a hall of horrors. Will I fit in or be left behind? Did I wear the right clothes? How will I find the right class? Why do those eighth graders look so big...

Middle school is the tricky tightrope between being a kid and being a teenager. How did you fare? Did you fall off the tightrope? Did you hold on?

See the characters in School Daze try to keep their balance on the first day of middle school.

We have done this play three times now across many years. It's a crowd pleaser for sure! Students identify with the characters and situations as well as the audiences of all ages. Easy costumes, no set, light props and super easy to direct.
