As part of Davidson College’s “Commemorating COVID” series, the Theatre Department is pleased to present a staged reading of Teaching and Learning in Pandemic Times: A documentary play.
Written by Sharon L Green
Directed by Ann Marie Costa
Featuring a cast of professional actors, educators, and Davidson students.
In March 2020, as the COVID pandemic hit the U.S., schools around the country did the unthinkable: they closed. Over the next 2 years schools operated in various capacities: online, hybrid, staggered attendance, and more. Teachers, administrators, and school counselors were asked to adapt, often with no preparation and no resources. The pandemic illuminated the centrality of teachers — not only as the glue that holds our education system together, but also as crucial components of our larger economic and social ecosystem. Based on the verbatim text from interviews with K-12 educators, administrators, and counselors, this play examines and commemorates the impact of the pandemic on teachers.
The reading will be followed by discussion with a panel of community educators, and will include refreshments and a raffle!
Tickets are FREE and the event is open to ALL.
