DESCRIPTION:August 6 & 7 (Saturday & Sunday), 2:30 PM \nSF Mime Troupe "Schooled" \nat 
 UCSC - Porter College Quad \n1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, 95064 \n*Bring 
 your beach chair or blanket. \nFREE Theater / Donations Appreciated \n\nThe 
 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 public/private plan to replace an out-of-date system, or is there something 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... Schooled? \n\nFor press
