     "Alexanders"  A play made to replay protests and rebellions through history, and teach people more about important historical events in a strong emotional way, using the similarities between them to loop it together.

     When Mimi, a Harvard student, is complaining about stale juice and watered down bread in the dining halls, Anna, a character in the bar, points out that things like that have been going on for a long time and then starts a monologue about the first recorded rebellion based off Harvard food. The monologue is written from the point of view of a student in the protests but not the leader. Anna tells the story of the first recorded student lead protest in Harvard, The Great Butter rebellion. The great butter rebellion is a protest about the moldy butter in dinning halls, the students were agitated because Harvard previously made a rule that the students all had to eat together. When the school did not change the quality of the butter after the students asked, they decided to protest by going to restaurants outside of school and disrespecting the teachers in the dining hall, this lead to people getting suspended and expelled. Eventually the students got the good butter they asked for.
