Speech & Debate is a play written by Stephen Karam, which played Off-Broadway at Roundabout Underground. It starred Gideon Glick, Sarah Steele, Jason Fuchs and Susan Blackwell. The play was originally performed as a workshop production at Brown/Trinity Playwrights Repertory Theatre (Lowry Marshall, Artistic Director) in Providence, Rhode Island in July 2006. It was directed by Lowry Marshall; and the production stage manager was Robyn Grady.
The play, a dark comedy with music, concerns three misfit teenagers, Howie (openly gay), Solomon (nerdy), and Diwata (frumpy and obsessed with musicals), and their attempts to expose a drama teacher who preys on teen boys. It received generally positive reviews.
