Re: School Plays

Oh god. Okay I love theatre and I majored in it in college and intend to make a career in it. But my school did some pretty bad shows, especially the musicals. We did a play every fall and a musical in the spring. We did Auntie Mame, an original thing called the Beatles Project*, a tepid adaptation of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Beauty & the Beast, You Can't Take it With You (definitely the best play we did), Footloose (ugh), On The Waterfront (with additional scenes added to it to up the number of women!), and a BAD Alice in Wonderland.

The school year directly after I graduated they got a new director (actually there were two while I was there, the switch is between B&B and YCTIWY) who was an actual actress on Broadway and picked things like Arsenic & Old Lace, The Fantasticks, As You Like It, and SWEENEY FUCKING TODD. SO FRUSTRATING. Oh and now they have an actual theatre with 100+ stadium seats, state-of-the-art lighting instruments, great sound... Basically loads nicer than many professional regional theatres, let alone a cafeteria with a stage in it.

*a probably illegal thing using Beatles songs that the students (especially the seniors) were forced to write- the "plot" wound up being scarily close to that of Across the Universe over 3 years before it came out! It was AWFUL.
