Lessons They Won’t Let Us Teach in School

Joseph Herd Productions—The Gargoyle Theatre

I was very excited to see what kind of wisdom was about to be divulged in this show from the title alone, and they delivered! Performed by two brothers who both teach in Winnipeg high schools, we are guided through a series of lessons that are truths with a controversial enough nature that it took this particular space for them to be able to talk about them. Cleverly written and extremely funny, we get some valuable insight into the experience of being a teacher and what education is truly about. For anyone who has ever been a student and for any teachers or members of the school system, this show has valuable lessons for us all and is a brilliant piece of theatre. A definite MUST SEE.
