Great Insight into High School and Theatre… and what we can do better

Absolutely LOVED We’re Doing the Wiz… sent me right back to high school theatre but with an eye to how I teach today and what conversations we need to KEEP having with students.
Limited depth/capacity for self-reflection

As someone who grew up “behind the tofu curtain,” I have found the hosts to be unreliable narrators with limited depth/capacity for self-reflection. Is it wild for a majority white school in a majority white community to perform The Wiz? Of course it is. That should have been apparent 20 yrs ago, and was apparent to many of the hosts classmates…just not ones they were friends with/interviewed. That music director thinks he’s a hero, but seemingly just enabled teens with needed mental health professionals.
Red for Revolution is AMAZING!!!

Red for Revolution is a beautiful story, brilliantly told! The writing, acting, MUSIC and production are all fantastic. And it is so important and so wonderful to lift up the revolutionary power of queer Black love across the generations! Thank you for this amazing offering.
Self indulgent at best.

The girl who played Dorothy seems high off her own farts. Ian lacks self-reflection and growth. What these kids needed were real adults to keep them safe, not wannabe rockstars.
