Mr. Wormwood said: "I don't thinkthat it's fair game to make fun of a specific kidbut it is fair game to make fun of the production because it's likely adults who made bad choices. If you have a tiny school without a lot of boys, pick a show that's appropriate, don't pick Les Mis. Too many high school programs are run by people who don't know what they're doing. There's enough exceptional high school theater programs at schools of all shapes and sizes that terrible ones should have better people running them and are, in my opinion, fair game for criticism and mockery."
The problem is that that’s not what people are doing on this thread. They’re largely singling out the performers. And I agree with others who have said that it’s troubling.
Technology is a great thing. But when social media is used, by adults, to make fun of people, especially kids, it’s kind of sad.
Wow...just spent a couple of hours going through this thread. It would've taken much longer but so many of the videos have been removed.
Here's something I stumbled on a few months ago. A high school production of TITANIC that is actually very good. The link I'm posting is the finale, but the entire show is available.
