Teachers on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

I have added a brand new play to my website! This comedy features a completely flexible cast, easy to rehearse vignettes, and terrific opportunities for young actors to work as an ensemble.

TEACHERS ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN


Genre:
Comedy
Cast: Gender flexible cast of 10, easily expandable
Running Time: 30-35 minutes
Setting: Classroom

Synopsis: Five high school teachers find themselves at the end of their rope...and it's only the first day of school! From an English teacher with mood swings and a math teacher in the middle of a divorce, to an elderly chemistry teacher with back pain and a geography teacher with a whip, the semester gets off to a rocky start. Add to the mix a drama teacher who sleeps on his desk, and it only becomes a matter of time before one of them snaps. As the students navigate this bumpy road, they begin to realize it may have been their behavior that pushed these teachers perilously close to the edge. Will they be able to make things right before it's too late, or has this faculty completely lost its faculties?

  1. The title and the premise of this play already have me laughing out loud. You are a true comic genius that writes with such a creative edge and sincere heart.
