In this episode of Skool Dayz, Act I, Part II, the routine faculty workshop on intruder protocol begins to spiral out of control when more alarms sound and another intruder runs through the building, and, even more unsettling, at least one administrator gets shot!

How will everyone react this time? Are they prepared for the real thing? Will they apply what they've learned? Will they be able to stay focused on the urgent matter at hand?

Enjoy and embrace the increasing dysfunctionality in Act I, Part II of Skool Dayz.

Inspired by Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, an absurdist play about the rise of fascism, my Skool Daze is an absurdist tragicomedy about teachers and students getting distracted by all sorts of things, effectively putting blinders on to a real threat, in this case an armed intruder (or two) in their own school.

After a general introduction to the play and the actors, Daze opens with a faculty meeting where administrators head a workshop on protocol for the event of an armed intruder. Things do not quite go as planned in the simulation and the faculty are not quite as attentive as they should be and are easily distracted by this and that, which does not bode well should a routine workshop spiral out of control as alarms jangle nerves and an intruder runs through the halls of the school...

Enjoy the distracted dysfunction of Act I, Part I of this version of Skool Dayz.

Inspired by Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, an absurdist play about the invasion of a population of rhinos (read: fascism), my Skool Daze is an absurdist tragicomedy about teachers and students getting distracted by all sorts of things, effectively putting blinders on to a real threat, in this case, an armed intruder (or two) in the school.

Daze opens with a faculty meeting wherein administrators head a workshop on protocol for the event of an armed intruder. Things do not quite go as planned in the simulation and the faculty are not quite as attentive as they should be and are easily distracted by this and that. In the midst of their distraction, they see an actual shooter through the halls of the building, leading to at least one administrator getting shot! For realz!

How will everyone - teachers, administrators, students - react to this? Have they been fully prepared for the real thing? Will they be able to stay focused on the matter at hand or will things spiral out of control?

Tune in and embrace the surreal, dysfunctional Act I of Skool Dayz. 

In this episode of Skool Daze, the simple faculty workshop on intruder protocol begins to spiral out of control when a shooter [or two] in the building and at least one administrator gets shot!

How will everyone react? Are they prepared for the real thing? Will they be able to stay focused on the matter at hand?

Embrace the increasing dysfunctionality in Part II.

Yet nothing is quite what it seems...

This is the updated version of the excerpt, Liz Rant, from Skool Daze, a non-mythology play by MC.

How new and improved? Well, we have two mystery cameos giving muc improved voice to Liz and Kendra (instead of yours truly laboring mightily)! Perhaps you know them...

The scene set up: during an important faculty workshop on school intruder preparedness, the very earnest Kendra and her rather edgier colleague, Liz, mix it up, but basically Liz just rashes on Kendra.

Enjoy!

Is it a teacher thing?

Inspired by Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist play about the rise of fascism, Rhinoceros, my Skool Daze is an absurdist tragicomedy about teachers and students getting distracted by all sorts of things, effectively putting blinders on to a threat of gun violence in their own backyard, i.e., their school. The opening scene begins with a faculty meeting where administrators evaluate emergency protocols by simulating the event of an armed intruder. 

At any rate, enjoy and embrace the absurd.

Answers what is this podcast exactly and who is this MC?

Excerpt from a non-myth play, Skool Daze, what I call Liz Rant.

During a faculty workshop on intruder preparedness, a goodie two shoes teacher, Kendra, and her edgier colleague, Liz, mix it up , but basically Liz just rashes on K.

Enjoy. It's a teacher thing?

For those who need to binge and are not content to listen to The Song of Orpheus in installments, we’ve added a podcast of the full play, shortened by some aggressive editing, especially of Orpheus’s damned rhyming! 

So, binge away if so moved!
