This award nominated teacher-turned-comedian's show will have parents, teachers and even substitutes in stitches.

If you're a teacher, see this revamped musical comedy and write it off as an hour of PD. If you're a parent, come along and learn a thing or two through rap about what happens in the classroom. If you're neither, who cares, see it before it sells out (again!).
