Production Tips for
The Perils of Modern Education

by Matthew Webster

The Perils of Modern Education are many! From standardized theatre tests that call for an exact number of steps in a scene, to trying to eat green in the cafeteria, to dealing with caffeine withdrawal, to giving Shakespeare advice on his college application essay. That’s right. Shakespeare. Spoiler alert, Willy is not college material.

A comedic romp through the stresses and struggles of making it through the school day. Gender flexible casting, doubling possibilities, and easy to stage.

Tips from past Producers

Dividing some characters between students gave them opportunities to play a variety of characters. We also enjoyed the pace and humour and made sure the enhance this where possible.

As there is a lot of movement and physical theatre in some scenes then it is really important that students have their lines learnt in plenty of time so that you can really get working on those tricky scenes.
