The Gleason Street School is in trouble.
Its teachers are underpaid. Its headmaster is clueless. And the members of its parent council are at each others’ throats.
We should mention the school is fictional. But the story, a new drama from Company One Theatre, comes alive in the very real halls and classrooms of Back Bay’s Commonwealth School. Greater Good is an interactive theater experience which starts in the now and then takes the audience back in time to a pivotal moment that sealed Gleason Street’s fate in a narrative that explores the intersection of privilege, education, governance and democracy in our society.
Greater Good will be 'onstage' at the Commonwealth School until August 17, 2019.
Guests:
Kirsten Greenidge - Playwright and creator of Greater Good. Kirsten is currently a Mellon Fellow and Howlround Artist in Residence at Company One.
Ilana Brownstein - Dramaturg and Director of New Work at Company One Theatre.
