Day at the Zoo is a great show. Here is the flyer:

There. is so much good in the Blake Theater Program, Day at the Zoo is one excellent example. Other problems, noted above, clearly exist and get worse. When parents (students and faculty) point them out, they deserve to be heard.

Best to all you people.

Thank you for the link.  The piece you link seems to be one student's opinion piece about how it's not fair that the theater students who are girls don't have to abide by the school's dress code while they are performing on stage, and how can you bring your grandmother to a show with so much exposed skin. (The latter seems to depend on the individual grandmother, I would think. My own grandmother wouldn't have batted an eye.)[/quote]

Agreed - the student seemed to be whining about the unfairness of the school dress code and how it doesn't apply to drama productions but that is just one person's opinion.  I personally love "Pippin" - we did the show when I was in high school, and yes it does touch on the subject of sex ("presented pastorally"). It's also a fabulously written show about coming of age, finding independence from one's parents, and discovering one's life purpose - seems pretty appropriate subject matter for a high school show.  Of course, I also did a production of "Hair" when I was in high school, so my opinion could be slightly skewed :-)
