"T.O.Y. stands for Teacher of the Year.  In a middle school outside of Tampa, Florida,  teachers are finding themselves burning out with student behavior issues, district and state policies and walk throughs, and the inability to balance a normal life with that of the life of a teacher.  Set in only two locations--an administration conference room and a teacher’s lounge--the play focuses on each one of these weary warriors who finds himself or herself in a nightmare of sorts--on the chopping block for their jobs.  But a young substitute teacher at least offers a glimmer of hope for the future of education."
