Post: They Call Me Mister Fry
To all the teachers in the DC area:
My name is Jack Freiberger, "Mr. Fry". I am a fully
credentialed teacher and an actor in Los Angeles. I have a
very popular one-man show called They Call Me Mister Fry
(misterfry.com) that has been selected to be presented in
the 2009 Washington Capital Fringe Festival (July
9-26th)(www.capfringe.org)
It's a show about the trials, tribulations and triumphs of
our teaching profession. It focuses on my first year
teaching 5th grade in South Los Angeles. It's a true story
and I've been told it has all the humor, drama and emotion
that make it a classic. It focuses on my relationship with
2 challenging students and how we affected each other's
lives and it chronicles my journey through bowels of the
Los Angeles Unified School District. It's been playing for
almost 2 years in LA and is on tour to Washington DC,
Boulder, Indianapolis and back to LA.
I hope you can come out and support this show and our
profession. I just tell my teacher story, but I'm sure all
of you have your own story in the classroom. Especially in
today's economic climate, where the first financial cuts
always seem to be in education, I believe it is important
to get our story out into the public to be heard by as many
people as possible.
