How do you cope when you see the seemingly broken spirits of those who want to change the world? Can you make the world a better place when the system is broken? Insightful and well done. ”

Principal Principle beautifully dramatizes the tedium, the teacher burn-out, and the high-stakes testing built into our city high schools. Every inch is funny, truthful, and heartbreaking. A great read! ”

This play is so intelligent, funny, and relevant. Joe navigates the complex realities of teaching in an urban public school, and keeps it authentic and entertaining at the same time. I highly recommend this play! ”

Principal Principle is a smart, funny and important story about the challenges facing public school teachers. The seasoned teachers in the room have Kay's number the moment she steps in the door. But the changes in Kay surprise even her. A play about the realities of educational policy in action and what happens when ideals collide with reality. Zarrow succeeds in making everyone feel implicated. ”
