Role Model @ SJ Arts Centre, Tompkins Hall

Jon Forward (Saint John, NB)

Turns out the one that got away had strings attached.

A failed teacher becomes a comedian. A comedian unexpectedly becomes a good teacher. Then everything blows up. In this funny, honest, and occasionally heartbreaking solo show, Jon Forward tells the true story of reluctantly giving teaching one last chance, unexpectedly falling back in love with it, and what happens when comedy and the classroom collide.

For day of show ticket purchases, online sales end at noon each day, after which tickets may only be purchased at the venue door.
