If you’re a student, aren’t you responsible for your own learning? But if you’re a teacher and your students aren’t learning, don’t you bear responsibility? Moore tackles these questions and more in a The Point, a vigorous debate between two teachers with very different philosophies and views about the role of a teacher. It’s a thought-provoking debate that will move from the stage after the curtain falls to the lobby and ride home from the theatre. Good theatre will do that.

A well executed cat and mouse game where the tables definitely shift several times. Two plausible characters in a challenging conversation -- what's better than that? I think audiences would really enjoy both seeing this play and discussing it afterward.

One thing I really admire about this piece is how it takes a fairly simple procedural disagreement and uses it to tackle a host of sociological, psychological, and ethical issues. To these two characters, the stakes are much higher than whether a student takes summer school, and therefore the stakes are much higher for us as well. The characters are grounded and natural in dialogue and position, and neither is right or wrong. I love the light touches of humor and the ambiguous close. Impressive.
