Did You Do Your Homework?: A Substitute teacher's journey through the bureaucracy of an urban classroom

Aaron Keith Braxton

DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK? is more than just a critically acclaimed and award-winning solo show; it's a transformative journey through the world of public-school education.

This powerful play explores the comical, tragic, and inspiring aspects of the American urban educational system, following the remarkable journey of a substitute teacher navigating the inner-city classroom bureaucracy.

DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK? highlights the importance of nurturing our youth to lead productive, capable lives, and showcases the diversity and resilience of the students within our public schools.

As each character plays a significant role, positive and negative, you'll be drawn into their stories, and by the end, you'll witness the profound message that "Greatness lies within You." While one character may not survive, another discovers the incredible strength that only adversity can bring.

Join the ranks of those who have been captivated by this remarkable play, which premiered at the prestigious Beverly Hills Playhouse and ran an astounding 9 months. It's a production that has earned international acclaim with a Romanian Gala Star and a NAACP Image Award. Plus, it's a goldmine for monologues, making it a valuable resource for actors and performers seeking powerful material.

DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK? It's not just a show; it's an invitation to reflect on the power of education, resilience, and the greatness that resides within us all.
