Join Off-Broadway’s Keen Company and Working Theater this spring for a world premiere play that just might teach you something! Kia Corthron’s “Fish” is a frank, funny, and fearless new play about the everyday people who make up America’s education system.

Between acting as guardian to her little brother and losing her best friend to the charter school on the upper floor, Tree is just trying her best to get through senior year at her underfunded public school. Ms. Harris, the new English teacher, has grown embittered over budget cuts and standardized testing – keeping every student afloat is proving easier said than done. When questions arise that no textbook can answer, both student and teacher will face their most challenging assignment to date.

Playing March 19 through April 20 at Theatre Row (410 W 42nd).

Choose-what-you-pay, sliding scale tickets are on sale right now at Keen Company’s website!
