Theater for the New City's award-winning Street Theater Company opens its 39th annual tour with "Teach It Right, or, Right to Teach," a rip-roaring musical which tackles the challenges and struggles facing public education in NYC.
The production tells the story of a NYC middle school student who is about to enter high school. His school often has no heat in winter, is broiling hot in summer (Budget cuts!), has no art classes ("If we don't have Music, why should we have Art? More budget cuts!") and a charter school is about to grab half its building.
