Stormin’ the Teachers’ Lounge<br />
Students Invade Teachers’ Paradise<br />
By Shirley Ullom<br />
The teachers’ lounge, the forbidden realm that students think is a plush paradise - in this<br />
play the students find out it’s a pit. After hours, they sneak in and joke mercilessly about<br />
their teachers: Mr. Chromedome and Grouchy Grundy. They rifle the trash in vain looking<br />
for test forms and almost get caught when the janitors arrive. Then they imagine what the<br />
place is like in action. They role-play their teachers with hilarious results. Funny characters.<br />
Easy to stage with only one set.<br />
