SYNOPSIS: All is well in The Kingdom of Academia – a royal land ruled by the much-loved King and Queen and inhabited by loyal subjects like Art, Geography, History, and Philosophy. But when the Board of Education sends Math to become a new subject of Academia, the Kingdom's peace and unity are threatened as subjects riot against this new addition. The King and Queen, having failed their own math classes as young students, turn a deaf ear to Math's pleas to join the Kingdom. It's up to Math and his newfound friends, Science and the Princess, to convince Academia that Math isn't so boring and confusing after all. Just when it seems that Academia might have a change of heart, the notorious Board of Education arrives on the scene, offering to take Math back. Will the King and Queen seize the opportunity to send Math home, or can Math persuade the Kingdom that he counts after all?

"It was a blast to stage this play. I had so much fun trying to figure out how to portray the 'subjects' of Academia. I also liked how the story dispels the myth of how 'difficult' math can be. (My father was a math teacher for 37 years and said many of the things that the character of Math says in this play). This play is super funny but also includes some sage advice when it come to education."
