[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if any of this will be taken into account for creating the casts?  Like, those who were victims of the mixups could be placed in 'better' casts?[/quote]

Give them all tickets with plus ones to the Tea Party. Apologize and assure them that it won't happen again and you value their contribution to the production. Keep a list of these students and do better by them next year.[/quote]

Victim is a pretty strong word here. Does it stink for the kids who went from soldier to page on day 1 - sure. But lets look at the big picture here. They went from one minor supporting role in a professional production to another. This is not the end of days by any means. Its not like they were dropped from the production or demoted in the school. The contract all of the families sign actually says that roles might change on the first weekend.
Teach your kids to role with the punches and move on.[/quote]
Wow, you really seem incapable of empathizing with the Black girls and their mothers who have to - once again - listen to a White woman telling them to be grateful for what they have. How many White girls were cast as a flower page for three years in a row? How many White girls were told that they could no longer be solider and had to be a page again? Do you not really hear yourself or understand the context of your "advice"?
Yes, this is a professional production, but this is also in part a reflection of the school. And both the school and the company purport to uphold certain values. I'm not sure that these numbers and statistics bear that out.[/quote]
