Breakdown

MILES FOR MARY

SYNOPSIS: It’s 1988 in Ohio, and the Garrison High Phys Ed department is determined to make their annual telethon the best one yet. But as the planning committee navigates a strained democratic process, the pressure to "do more" begins to crack their professional veneer. This sharply observed comedy by and featuring Signature resident artists The Mad Ones returns in an all-new staging, capturing the quiet agony and absurdity of trying to change the world from a linoleum-floored faculty lounge.
