Staffroom

Scattered Minds Theatre—John Hirsch Mainstage

Most people at some point in their lives wonder what goes on in a teaching staff room and this play is here to answer the question! The play follows a day in a staff room as the various teachers interact. A teacher myself, the characters were spot on. Jokes were crude (some made me cringe) and captured the curmudgeon perfectly. There were tender moments that captured the do-gooder teachers to a tee.

Mostly the play showed the truth, which is that no teacher is perfect, we are all just trying our best in front of our kids and letting loose our demons with our coworkers.
