Rant Make this make sense
I'm theatre kid, so when my school did Mean Girls of course I joined. One thing you need to know is that any play/muscials have to go thur the principal first, she apporved of it (this is important). If you don't know Mean Girls regardless of high school or not, there is vulger words. party scenes, and even topics of more mature side. We where fine cussing, doing these scene for almost three months, and even 2 shows, but closing night it wasn't fine. She was there, and took many of the teachers words for saying "bad" words that were fine for the entire three months.
So its closing night, its half way through the show, we all told stay in the green room, okay is there anything go on bad out there? No we get told stop cussing because she "never" approved it and there was too "many kids" (there was maybe 15 out of 250) She never read over the script, never been to one rehearsal, and now you want us to change us cussing last minute. We still had to do it even tho mutiple lines and almost one song was messed up due to her, not to mention many actors where crying on stage because of this, durning scenes that should have had crying because of her. I went crying to my mother after this because I was so mad I started to cry. Lets say World burn hit harder due us being all mad.
After this she clammed she never approved of it and nevered read the script, and didn't know that there was so much cussing and vulgar words (the world tampon was vulgar...)
So if you ever how to make a bunch theatre kids hate you, you tell them to change a show last show and last act. Lets just all of the theatre deparment hates her.
