"The Animals" is a wicked look at a year in the life of the teachers at Peabody Elementary School, depicting their quarterly struggle to maintain their humanity. Amina Henrys darkly comic play alights in the teachers break room every month, tracking their progress and regress over the course of the year. New recruit Dot Banks strives for perfection while dealing with a wayward student, a demanding mother, an alarming eating disorder and the dramas of the veteran teachers at the school. With exhilarating highs and devastating lows, the schoolteachers work their way through the school year amidst demanding parents, unruly students, standardized testing and the piling-on of personal crises.
