[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another huge debacle at SWW…at this point are they just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?[/quote]

Ah, the DCUM Walls hater strikes again. At what point does this topic turn to "bring back the entrance exam" and/or "BASIS is so much better"?

OK, but back on topic: I really think the school could have found *something* to perform, now that they've got a cast and everything. These kids have got to be super disappointed.

I think having the kids write their own show, which a PP mentioned, is a great idea![/quote]

There are TONS of shows available for which they could easily secure the rights. This is a huge cop-out.

That said, have they tried having the kids write a letter with a heart felt plea to the rights holder and/or whatever theatre company is blocking the rights? Ultimately it's a public school not even focused on the arts; this is not competition for a professional show (if anything, in my experience, it drums up more interest in a "real" version of the show among the school community). Have they really, really pushed to see if there's anything they could do/any kind of agreement they could reach (e.g., not advertising outside of their school community, not charging for tickets, whatever the company's concern is?)? I have been in a similar situation where we reached an agreement pretty easily.[/quote]
