Cast Set for THE NEW TEACHER at Super Bad Theater Company

Super Bad Theater Company has joined forces with DP Productions and Other Community Organizations on a collaborative effort within The Greater East Texas Area.

The Youth Creative Ethics workshop "Pillars of Theatre" is in full swing and the participating youth are gearing up for the live public performances of The New Teacher (A Stage Play With Music), a theatrical adaptation of Dedrick Weathersby's The New Teacher play book. The New Teacher Premiered February 2022 in Longview TX in front of a SOLD OUT audience. This family friendly show is adapted by Emmy award-winning actor, playwright and producer Dedrick Weathersby and directed by EK Bonner (Super Bad Theater Company) and will be brought to life by a Diverse cast, crew and creative team.

The New Teacher (A Stage Play With Music) will utilize theatre to offer young children and families a way to engage in meaningful conversation about the treatment and appreciation of teachers and the impact in which they have on families. The vision is to highlight the performing arts and advocate for youth artists to pursue Theatre for a career, says producer and writer Dedrick Weathersby.

Super Bad Theater Company is a member of Theatre for Young Audiences USA (TYA/USA), the national organization representing the field of theatre for children and family audiences.

The New Teacher (A Stage Play Comedy) is adapted by Dedrick Weathersby and directed by EK Bonner and assistant direction by Jaylen Warren with music by William Griffin and Jen Coogan, music direction by Jeremiah Bonner (Longview High School Senior Class) and composition by Jen Coogan, Dedrick Weathersby, Morgan Becker and Chavalia Dunlap Mwamba, Stage Manager(s) by Jaylen Warren, Joseph and Josiah Bonner (Longview High School) with Lyrics by Dedrick Weathersby, Jen Coogan (New York) and Morgan Becker and choreography by Jordan Burns (Chicago).
