Where will it end?

I don't know the details, but I just heard that the plug was pulled on the back-up production to be staged by the SoWal High School theatre department. Does anyone have any information?

Yes, the first choice was Blithe Spirit. See previous thread: http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=16415&highlight=blithe

There was a complaint. The WCSB allowed the play to go on. There was an appeal by the complainants causing the production to have to be put on hold and not allowing for enough time to produce that certain play. So Mr. Goodrum chose a back-up play.

Now I hear the same complainants have asked to review the newly chosen script, and so the principal pulled it. I don't know the facts, but would love some more information.

I am assuming it is the play that was chosen to replace Blithe Spirit, since there wasn't time to do that one due to the "challenge" (read:censorship). I am heading to the high school and will find out what is going on.

I don't think that the few people who are having a problem with these works are going to be happy until Christian show is selected.

That is the real kicker. Apparently they do not even have children at the school.

Dont these folks know that sour grapes are only good for wine? If Ewing had any spine he would tell these people that it is none of their business if their kids are not involved. Unless it is one of the faculty/administration that is the complainant. Instead of worrying about the content of an play put on by students he should be figuring out who hacked the main frame and deleted students work.

Can't they just put on "Oklahoma!" and be done with it?

I'm sure I am stating the obvious here, but if these parents don't want their children to see the play, they should simply prevent their children from being in the cast or attending the performances. Better yet, be proactive and take their kids to the play and spend some time explaining their issues with the material.

Students shouldn't be sheltered from important life topics. These banned plays or books give a different point-of-view on social issues and expose us to things that do occur in the real world.

(Of course, I have no idea what the play is.)
