TEACH/TEACH
2W, 1M.
TEACH/TEACH received an Honorable Mention for the 2020 Leah Ryan Award and was a finalist for the Playwright’s Realm’s 2019 Fellowship.
After the death of her mom and her roommate, Mare has taken up the "grief piano," aka lessons with local piano teacher Larry, who is faking his way through teaching after his band decides to take a "hiatus." Week after week, they meet at Larry's apartment and play, cheered on by their best friends – Lucie the roommate and Lucie the cat – who watch Mare and Larry's progress with a mix of joy and trepidation. A quiet journey through grief, TEACH/TEACH finds its characters at the edge of loss, and sees them through it with a piano, a cell phone, and a bathroom.
