They Call Me Mister Fry is playwright, actor, teacher, Jack Freiberger’s (Mr. Fry)
true-life story teaching 5th grade in South Los Angeles as a first-year teacher. It’s a funny, poignant story that tells the struggles of a mid-west, white boy from Indiana dealing with a challenging, multi-ethic body of students and his journey through the bowels of big city bureaucracy. Most importantly, it follows the evolution of “Mr. Fry” into an effective teacher-- who came to teach, but ended up learning.
