Art Blocks Block Swap: Powderhorn PorchFest

Pillsbury House Theatre (City Pages’ Best Theater in the Twin Cities 2013) is opening a show called Prep by Tracey Scott Wilson on September 18^th. It dramatizes issues in the undercurrent of education and discipline within today’s public school system. An emotionally overwhelmed teacher tries to diffuse an altercation between two male students to avoid a potential school-wide fight. As the tragic story slowly unfurls, the teacher wrestles with the questions — is the system supporting and educating youth or forcing them to lash out? Who is responsible when things go wrong?
