A play written by Bridget Ossmann, a sixth-grade science teacher at Fairfield Intermediate School, will be performed at the Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative selected the play, "Teachers Left Behind," for a performance on Tuesday, June 17, at 7:30 p.m. Ossman wrote the play, including its music and lyrics. Her sister, Bekka Eaton, is the director. Ossmann and Eaton are both Fairfield High School graduates, and are daughters of retired Journal-News columnist Ercel Eaton.
The play, said the Playwrights Initiative, is "a comedy with music, dealing with state testing, No Child Left Behind, funding, curriculum, parents, administrators and of course, students, through the eyes of Virginia Budge, an aging, meddlesome, retired teacher."
The cast includes Joan M. Kirsch, who works at Fairfield Intermediate School, Michael Potter, Jordan Eaton, Judy Carrier, Amber Samblanet and John Vanderplough.
The theater
is at the corner of Main Sreet and Seventh Street in Cincinnati. Tickets are $7 for adults and $4 for students. Reservations can be made at the Aronoff Center box office, or by phone at 513-621-2787, or online at www.CincinnatiArts.org.
