Richard Miller returns to Wintersville High School as the very hip, new Social Studies teacher in 1976, teaching “Problems of Democracy” to college-bound seniors.  He diverges from dry academia and approaches the topic of the justice system using role play and a unique social experiment. Students play cops, lawyers, pushers, buyers and narcs using Good & Plenty candies as drugs of choice.  Hilarity, biting political satire, mixed with satiric slapstick ensues as the process devolves into a web of betrayal, duplicity, and crumbling authority, with almost everyone ending up in “jail.”  Described as a “brilliant twist on high school madness and a compelling meditation on democracy,” that examines the foundations of integrity and the frailties of our governing system, the play illustrates the more things change, the more they stay the same.
