A powerful call to attention for where we fall short to address the educational needs and support for children often left behind. How can we best help? Well done.

I was fortunate to able to see a staged reading of this remarkable play at Fantasy Theatre Factory in Miami, Florida. Mr. Burdick deftly and creatively catapults us into a universe where our alliances shift constantly. The writing is top-notch and inherently theatrical. Using both fourth-wall scenes and direct address, the play's structure assists us in being privy to heart-to-hearts and drawing our own conclusions - or at the very least, more questions. A very timely and compelling look at how our school systems in place are failing students, teachers, parents and administrators. Read it, produce it!

Greg Burdick's play, ACCOMMODATION, is a wonderfully written drama that gives equal and compelling weight to the many sides of the complicated world of public school education. What is the best way to serve and educate students in their most formative years and in our ever-changing society? The characters of the play, as administrators, educators, parents and students show themselves all to be correct in their data, but guilty of not being able to see the complete picture. It's a play we need now; one that will surely provoke thoughtful discourse on topics all too often relegated to sound-byte media.
