Fahrenheit 1700

by Jim Pangrazio

Overview

A bunch of high school students are sick of being trained to pass tests rather than receiving a real learning experience. So instead of a test taking rehearsal they decide instead to take over their classroom to play their unique version of volleyball. When the principal and security cop intervene they are taken hostage and administered a learning experience of their own while the teacher is allowed observer status. They will remain in detention until they understand what is wrong with the questions and answers they are being made to memorize. Questions and answers are from actual NY and CA high school mandatory tests.

About the Author

The general consensus is that change is urgent. Yet those claiming to work toward that end choose illusory paths that serve more as an impediment to the change they profess to seek. It is a closed loop -- a path that follows itself -- a safe at home tour rather than an expedition in search of wherever.

My plays attempt to untangle the complex knots created by repeated trips to nowhere by focusing on the fearful simplicity of uncontaminated life where acceptance and rejection meet to hash out what's bothering them.
