About this listen
Speech and Debate is a fiercely funny and surprisingly timely new play by new playwright Stephen Karam.
They may go to the same school, but misfits Solomon, Diwata and Howie have never met and their teachers and peers just don't take them seriously - until a sex scandal involving one of their teachers brings them together.
Soon they realize that three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is their chance to be heard at last - by the school and even the world.

Editorial reviews
In this triumphant L.A. Theatre Works production, a high school teacher may or may not have solicited gay sex with a minor on the Internet. Rising Hollywood talents Andrea Bowen, Gideon Glick, and Bobby Steggert are hilariously radiant as the three high school students who may or may not know something about it. Recorded before a lively and appreciative audience, Stephen Karam's clever, boisterous, and often politically incorrect script carefully peels away the angst that Diwata, Howie, and Solomon feel when they find there's a lot more to life than forming the school's first Speech and Debate Club - for example, discovering friendship and tolerance for who they are and who they want to be.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
