Overview

Synopsis

Dewey Coleman has a secret. By day, he is a mild-mannered (even boring) high school history teacher; by night, he is Damaged, a psychotic would-be pro wrestler. For a while he's been able to explain away his random head wounds and concussion-induced vomiting, but the metaphorical cat is out of the bag when he is coerced by his overworked principal into directing the fall play, Peter Pan. Worlds collide as his students discover his alter ego, and Dewey's alter ego intrudes on the production, reimagining the classic play as an all an-out brawl entitled Pan/Hook: One Night Only.
