TEACHERS LEFT BEHIND runs Sept. 29-Oct. 8

TEACHERS LEFT BEHIND
Presented by Budge Workshop Productions and Miami University Hamilton WoRkShoP  
Sept. 29-Oct. 8
Hamilton

TEACHERS LEFT BEHIND is a new comedy with music, written by local playwright Bridget Ossmann. The play deals with state testing, No Child Left Behind, funding, curriculum, parents, administrators and of course students through the eyes of Virginia Budge, an ageing, meddlesome retired teacher. Join Ms. Budge on her journey through a basement of memories as she begrudgingly packs her prized teaching paraphernalia, laughter exploding as she fills each box. This is a Budge Workshop Production. All proceeds will go to the Virginia Budge Award fund.

This production contains some mild profanity and adult situations. The directing approximates its rating as ~PG13.
