During the 2007-2011 seasons, Teacher's Pet was part of Buntport's Third Tuesday rotation. Billed as "an open mic with homework", members of the audience were invited to take the stage for a 5 minute prsentation on the topic du jour, with a prize awarded to the audience-chosen "teacher's pet".
Hosted by Buntport's Erin Rollman and Brian Colonna, and sometimes sponsored by Found Magazine, the show encouraged presentation in any manner - interpretive dance, impromptu aria, or (like most everyone) standing awkwardly behind a microphone and stammering out a story. It was always different, and usually fun, funny and often a little disturbing.
Below lists the Teacher's Pet Hall of Fame, with the selected winners throughout the years. We thank them, and all other brave presenters who took part in the fun.
