“We all have memories of that one teacher that got us into trouble. When “I wasn’t even doin’ nothin’!”
Adapted from SHAE WOFFORD’s story in the ATC Insider
Nothing’s worse than being stuck in detention on the Friday before a long weekend. Time ticks on as six high school students wait for the teacher to arrive and sign their release forms. As we learn why each of them was sentenced to this fate, we wonder if the walls keep them in or if stronger forces are at play.
Each member of ATC’s professional cast will have you captivated with their performances from the first hilarious moment to the thought-provoking end. With strong themes of being forgotten, left behind, and the school-to-prison pipeline, Exception to the Rule is a meaningful and entertaining evening of theater that will challenge audiences to see ‘school’ in a new light. Exception to the Rule! will generate meaningful conversations and inspire positive change within our communities.
Following the performance on Saturday, February 24th, there will be a discussion with a panel of our city’s leaders in equity and education featuring the show’s award-winning playwright Dave Harris.
