Teachers Lounge
School Play
The annual school play is supposed to bring the community together. It is doing the opposite. A comedy of errors, bruised egos, and unexpected grace.
It was supposed to be a simple production of Romeo and Juliet. It was not simple. It was never going to be simple. Not with this cast, this director, this school board, and this particular group of teachers who have very strong opinions about Shakespeare and even stronger opinions about each other.
Teachers Lounge: School Play is the second book in the series, and it takes everything that made the first book work — the sharp dialogue, the warmly drawn characters, the mix of comedy and genuine emotion — and turns it up to eleven. The school play is a crucible, and everyone who enters it comes out changed.
Funny, chaotic, and ultimately moving, this is a book about what happens when people who care deeply about something try to make something together — and all the beautiful, terrible things that can go wrong along the way.
