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.
Water. Gun. Argument.
by Alan Haehnel
An argument is a lie you choose to believe and defend.
Every year the students of Ratherford High participate in a squirt gun competition called Assassin. There are rounds, rules and judges.
It’s the oldest game in the world, right? Kids trying to shoot at each other with play guns? It’s become a national phenomenon, so what’s the harm?
If there was an actual school shooting, of course they’d stop playing. And a squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? An argument is a lie you choose to believe and defend. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.
