Teach

"Remember when you were in college, and you’d see a play or a movie and talk about it for hours afterward? This is [a show] that might do that for you again."

- Buffalo Rising

"One big aspect that’s genius in this play is that the roles of both teacher Chris and student Emerson are simultaneously played by both male and female presenting actors... Genius because this removes gender power... and allows this show to focus more on other imbalances of power. It’s a play about being human."

- Buffalo Rising

"[TEACH is] poignant and tender...and creepy and awkward. Hoke brings us into each character’s mind and spinning moral compass without losing a narrative beat. This is a play of layers and ripples—an untangling of threads that tangle themselves again behind your back. Everyone is culpable AND innocent...Hoke writes each character with such honest compassion that we can also understand how they succumb to temptation."

- Rowen Haigh, National Women’s Theatre Festival
