Exit Strategy at The Rosette Theatre

Beyond August Productions presents Exit Strategy by Ike Holter, directed by Rodolfo Robles Cruz.

The teachers of Tumbldn High School don't live in an inspirational teacher movie. They bring mousetraps from home, they make the toilet paper last, and they show up for the kids nobody else shows up for. So when the school is slated for closure, and the weight of the inevitable bears down on the community, students and teachers alike discover their breaking points.

This crisp, current comedy follows the multi-faceted journeys of the teachers, vice-principal, and a savvy yet savage student in the days leading up to their high-school’s (inevitable?) closure. Exit Strategy is described by The Chicago Tribune as “at once poetic, political, sad, funny, timely, complex and compassionate.”

Spiked with humor and brimming with fury, Exit Strategy is an exhilarating call to arms about what we owe each other.
