T.O.Y. confronts the harsh realities facing educators in Florida, where teachers navigate mounting hardships and political manipulation over what they are allowed to teach. Written by Peter Nason, who has worked in public schools for nearly 40 years, the play is based on true events and serves as a love letter to educators in Florida. The two-act play is co-directed by Chris Cavazza and Zach Cain, with a cast including Peter Nason, Chris Cavazza, Hannah Lawson, Zach Cain, Dana Mauro, Anika Meeusen, Shaun Shaugnessy, Jo Villafane, and Alysia Wargo Rodriguez.
