About the Show
SOMEBODY CATCH MY HOMEWORK
By Sandra Fenichel Asher
Inspired by the poetry of David L. Harrison
Directed by Maggie Sniffen
“A Hilarious School-Day Adventure Full of Heart, Humor, and Imagination.“
A light-hearted, high-energy look at one eventful day in the life of fourth-grader Samantha, the new girl in town, who has lost her beloved cat, Corky. At the bus stop, Samantha meets three wacky new friends who welcome her into their class, which just happens to be studying the animal kingdom. Their search for essay topics takes them from a dinner table's chicken thighs to the pasture of a bull not pleased to see visitors. A wayward wad of bubble gum, tuba practice and a sticky baby sister later, the busy day finally peaks with the rescue of Corky.
Featuring nineteen humorous—and sometimes serious—poems by David L. Harrison perfectly summing up what it means to be a kid going to school.
