First Day of School, by Billy Aronson
The Hardy and Betty Sanders Theatre
When a group of devoted parents decide to make their children’s first day of school a “first†of their own, they turn their quiet little lives upside-down and give a whole new meaning to the term “physical education.†This hilarious new comedy from Billy Aronson takes what may seem on the surface to be a “soccer-Mom sex farce,†and creates a satire of the spiritual poverty in our culture and our terror of true intimacy.
