Exit Strategy at Temple Theaters

The teachers of Chicagos Tumbldn High School don't live in some inspirational movie. When the school is slated for closure, Ricky, the vice principal, has a risky plan to stop the bulldozers in their tracks - but who is actually with him on it? Spiked with humor and brimming with fury, Ike Holter's Exit Strategy, directed by Christopher Windom, pulls back the curtain on the educational system in an exhilarating call to arms about desires, needs, and what we are owed. Content Advisory: Exit Strategy features strong language and discussions of racism and suicide. The play also contains off-stage gun violence including a gun shot. COVID Policies: Temple University is currently hosting events in compliance with regional, city-wide, and CDC guidelines. Visit temple.edu/coronavirus for additional information. With current rising positivity rates, we encourage audience members to be masked, following current guidelines on indoor venues from the city of Philadelphia. Because protocols may change, we recommend audiences be prepared for the possibility of mandatory masking, and check Temple Theaters' website or social media accounts for updates before attending their performance. Due to the city of Philadelphia's Aug. 13, 2021 mandate requiring full vaccination at higher education institutions, the university requires that all students, staff, faculty, and contractors (unless specifically exempt) must be vaccinated. It takes all members of the Temple University community working together to keep ourselves and everyone safe and healthy. Audiences are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated to contribute to the health of our campus. #VaxUpTU
