Found Theatre Debuts Comedy TRAFFIC SCHOOL This Summer
They only met once, but it changed their lives for the rest of the day. A tongue-in-cheek tribute to fresh-faced teacher flicks such as "To Sir, With Love," and troubled teen dramedies like "The Breakfast Club," "Traffic School" is an original Found Theatre comedy written and directed by company member John Sturgeon.
With newly minted instructor Boyd Beasley at the helm, the play crams all of the drama and comedy of a year of high school into a single day, teaching us what can happen in a world where people are too dumb to know they can take traffic school online.
Featuring Derek Long, Caitlin Lowerre, Lauren Nave, MeLinda Parker, John Schwendinger, Bev Shields and Stephanie Thomas.
