Target Margin Theater presents Little Lord’s

THE PEANUT BUTTER SHOW
Written by Michael Levinton and Little Lord
Directed by Michael Levinton

October 1 – 5 at 7:30pm @ THE DOXSEE (232 52nd Street, Sunset Park, Brooklyn)
Tickets $20

Based on the deceptively simple yet rich language in “McGuffey’s Eclectic Readers,” a series of textbooks used from the 1830s to today, THE PEANUT BUTTER SHOW amplifies some of the awkward and often grotesque techniques used to teach generations of Americans how to read, think and behave. Little Lord delves into the moralistic underpinnings of these books to explore how education is used as a tool of social conditioning — along with other concerns such as the humiliating cult of puberty, the sadistic allure of shame, the awkwardness of children’s musical “edutainment,” and whether or not it’s ever okay to poop with the door open.
