The Straight Skinny

Book By: Frank Cerabino
Play #: 2222
Pages: 42 pgs
Cast: 9 m, 9 w

What happens when a sympathetic teacher slips an advance copy of the algebra midterm exam to a struggling student and warns him not to share it with the rest of the class? In two words: cheating scandal! Come sort out the vagaries of honor, friendship and the straight skinny with the 18 members of Mr. Bolton's fourth-period algebra class. Join them as they discover the value of truthfulness, morality and higher math in a way that is at times hilarious, touching, and provocative. The one-act play is chockful of vividly drawn characters, generously explored ethical questions, and a surprising resolution in the hunt for the class snitch. Performance time about 45 minutes.
