Last month, cast members of Hingham High School Drama Club's The Shuddersome Tales of Poe performed at two in-school assemblies in preparation for the first round of Festival, a state-wide event hosted by the Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild. Though the first assembly went off without a hitch, there were reportedly 'obnoxious shouts echoed from students across the auditorium when the house lights were turned off.' The comments were described by one student at the assembly as 'sexual, derogatory, and 'homophobic.'
