 UCSC - Porter College Quad\n1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, 95064  \n*Bring

 play, "Schooled" deals with the Education system and it’s a 
 musical!\n\nThe SF Mime Troupe is CA born and bread. \nThis is the 57th 
 season for the Tony Award-winning Theatre Company.\n\nSynopsis:\nEducation. 
 It’s like the weather: everyone has an opinion but nobody does anything 
 about it. That’s how Lavinia Jones feels about her son Thomas’ new 
 school, Eleanor Roosevelt High. Decades of funding cuts have resulted in 
 old textbooks, crumbling classrooms, and underpaid teachers, making 
 Roosevelt exactly the sort of public school that has failed students time 
 and time again. Isn't it time for something… efficient? And efficient is 
 exactly what Fredersen Babbit, from Learning Academy for Virtual 
 Achievement (LAVA Corp.), promises to bring to the district. New 
 Technology, remote learning, computer-generated teachers –LAVA promises 
 to put the “virtual” in achievement!  But with kids learning from home, 
 do we need all these empty schools? And with privatization on the line, a 
 Wall Street heavy hitter on one side and a feisty octogenarian teacher 
 Ethel Orocuru on the other, suddenly the next School Board election is more 
 about a hidden agenda than the open curriculum. Are schools the last chance 
 for democracy, or is education the next frontier for profit? Can we trust a 
 politician’s public/private plan to replace an out-of-date system, or is 
 there something even more sinister than privatization going on behind the 
 doors of LAVA? And wait - when did the hall monitors start wearing brown 
 shirts and arm bands? When it comes to the real plan for the future of 
 education – and of our democracy - are we all about to get...
