Parents Night: By George F. Walker: September 25 – October 12

September 20th, 2014 in Events, Theatre | Comments Off on Parents Night: By George F. Walker: September 25 – October 12

Parents Night: A New Play by George F. Walker: September 25 – October 12. $25 at the door. Discounts for teachers/students/groups. Directed by Wes Berger. Parents Night is a one-act, three-character comedy/dramedy set in a Grade Three classroom. The action takes place in ParentsNight.jpgreal-time, starring Sarah Murphy-Dyson as concerned and unhinged teacher Nicole, sitting down for a serious discussion with the parents of two of her most troublesome students. John (Matthew Olver) a wealthy and neurotic businessman whose wife has recently walked out on him and Rosie (Dana Puddicombe) a brassy and strong-willed working class woman with a drug-addicted husband, each star as delightfully defensive parents, loyally and valiantly advocating for their children against Nicole, one another and society itself. John’s son and Rosie’s daughter may be having their problems in Nicole’s class – mostly with each other – but when these parents go to school for a Parent/Teacher interview, their own problems soon bubble over and take over the classroom.
A funny, touching and truthful play for anyone who’s ever been a teacher. Or had a teacher. Or had a parent. Or wanted another kind of parent. https://parents-night.squarespace.com   https://www.facebook.com/events/614927911955658/

MORE: This brand new comedy is written by Toronto’s illustrious East-End punk kid, all-grown-up playwright, George F. Walker. Brimming with his razor sharp wit and provocatively relevant social commentary, Parents Night is sure to be yet another of Walker’s signature wisecracking and mind-bending laugh-out-loud comedies!
Parents Night explores themes of class, gender inequality and entitlement as well as exploring parental anxiety and projection – all the while asking who, in today’s society, is ultimately responsible for molding a child’s character?
