Shines a light on the struggles – and miracles – of America’s public schools. The actor transforms herself into an entire classroom of children, their teachers, their parents, the principal, the janitor and even the security guard with a metal detector at the front door. A master class on heartbreak and humor – which proves that one passionate person can still make a difference.
