A Very Dramatic Reading of a Parody of Notes on a Scandal

A Very Dramatic Reading of a Parody of Notes on a Scandal

An over-the-top, insane evening of lesbian lust, sociopath school teachers, and outlandish fighting, sex, and more fighting -- all done with British accents! Played with camp hysteria (and quite a bit more actually) of the 2006 film that it parodies, this reading features stars of film, television, Broadway, Off-Broadway, and... contemporary dance?

Middle-aged, lonely, and bitter teacher, Barbara, played by Philip Taratula (The Lily's Revenge), falls for the young, lonely, and idealistic new teacher on the block, Sheba, played by Jack Ferver (Strangers With Candy). However, Sheba is married. Not a lesbian. And into her 15-year-old student. When Barbara discovers Sheba's transgression, what ensues is a tense tête-à-tête of two desperate women. There will be tears before bedtime. Also featuring Christian Coulson (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Hours), Jenn Harris (Gayby), Randy Harrison (Queer As Folk, Wicked), and Matthew Wilkas (Gayby).
