*Ensemble Theatre* concludes our 46th season with


*EXIT STRATEGY By IKE HOLTER :: Directed by JEANNINE GASKIN *They bring
mouse traps from home, they make the toilet paper last, and they show up
for the kids nobody else shows up for. So when the school is slated for
closure at the end of the year, and the weight of the inevitable bears down
on the community, students and teachers alike discover their breaking
points. Ricky, the vice principal, has stayed firmly on the sidelines for
all of the teachers’ previous battles, but now in the eleventh hour, he’s
compelled to step up with a plan to save the school. Some risk their
futures to follow his lead--
But does he actually have any idea what he’s doing? Spiked with humor and
brimming with fury, EXIT STRATEGY is an exhilarating call to arms about
what we owe each other.

*“A call to arms... Beautifully dangerous, deeply felt in each shocking
discovery...Exit Strategy challenges and inspires, questioning what's worth
fighting for and how to lead that fight."* *— DC Metro Theatre Arts*
