CATALYST: A docudrama on student engagement and transformation

Playwright-activist Brooke Haycock has been crafting and performing issue-focused theater with The Education Trust for nearly a decade. A former high school dropout from an urban public school system, Brooke now spends most of her time back in schools with students and educators, listening to their experiences of equity in American public education. Inspired by the work of documentarians Studs Terkel and Anna Deavere Smith, Brooke mixes interview with performance to produce incisive chronicles of opportunity, achievement, and equity in American public education.
