Summary
It is the day before graduation and Ms. Pfifer’s retirement as a high school counselor when senior Dylan Theroux is caught plagiarizing, and his admission to an Ivy League University is put in jeopardy. Dylan’s entitled mother barges into the school with a private child psychiatrist to get him diagnosed with ADHD and other disabilities to force the school to put him on a retroactive learning plan to ensure perfect grades and college admission. Ms. Pfifer goes on a drinking binge and to ridiculous lengths to avoid the nonsense on her last day, including lies, impersonations, quick escapes, schemes and counter-schemes. [Full-Length. Two Acts. 95 pages. Farce. Unit set.]
