Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The time: 1938. The place: S.S. #1 Jericho School, a one-room schoolhouse in a farming area just outside the fictional village of Bakerâs Creek. There, a delightful but unmanageable group of children finally meets its matchÂMelita Linton, an 18-year-old teacher fresh out of Normal School. But Miss Linton soon faces her own challenge, in the form of Ewart, a menacing and mysterious juvenile delinquent sent to Âstraighten outâ on a farm after doing time in Battenville Training School. The play chronicles Miss Lintonâs struggle to connect with a boy who has cut himself off from everyone, including himselfÂand to persuade the cautious and close-knit community to open its arms to this stranger in their midst.
Full of warmth and poignant humour, Schoolhouse evokes a way of life shared by generations of rural North Americans, exploring timeless themes of rejection, of compassion, of damage, of hope. It is a story about insiders and outsiders, and the fact that every time you draw a circle, some things are inside the circle and some things are not. In the end, the play is about those on the outsideÂabout people who often Âdonât have the wordsâ to express themselves or the training to cope with their lives but who have to get through anywayÂthose we leave behind to their own devices, who set themselves free.
Cast of 5 women and 7 men.
