Reporter well, there are two performances of school plays scheduled for tonight and tomorrow. And 400 tickets were issued for this but are sold out, but the authors want everyone in the state to see this. Thats because they say Education Funding is a very important issue. It affects everyone. And a group of actors have been working the past few months crafting performances to more than 100 interviews done with people throughout the state. Including parents, students and teachers. And one of the coauthors tells me the idea came after seeing students share their stories in harrisburg two years ago and thought, why not a play . Theater can do some things that, like a documentary cant quite do. And one of the things that theater, that really good theater can do is pose a problem and a question in a human way. Reporter so the idea is once these performances here in philadelphia are done that they want to get this throughout the state in theaters all over at least a video of it so more people can see it. But for now,s the just here at the National Constitution center.
