About this event

Join your fellow LPTW'ers to read and analyze plays book club style and virtually. Have opportunities to attend theater together!

Synopsis:

Between acting as guardian to her little brother and losing her best friend to the charter school on the upper floor, Tree is just trying her best to get through senior year at her underfunded public school. Ms. Harris, the new English teacher, has grown embittered over budget cuts and standardized testing – keeping every student afloat is proving easier said than done. When questions arise that no textbook can answer, both student and teacher will face their most challenging assignment to date. Kia Corthron's Fish is a frank, funny, and fearless new play about the everyday people who make up America’s education system. Kia Corthron was part of the Keen Playwrights Lab in 2018, during which time Fish was originally developed.
