My school is doing a Shakefest this year consisting of a bunch of scenes from different Shakespeare's plays including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, ect. During auditions, I found out that we couldn't show any scenes of someone dying and I was just like 'what the heck?'. What is Romeo and Juliett without the famous ending? Aren't us teenagers revealed to death constantly in movies, tv, games, ect? Heck, they might as well not let us watch Bambi or The Lion King in school because they are "inappropriate" with some of the scenes in them. I think the School Board(well mine at least) comes up with such stupid rules. I personally think that the new director is being taken advantage of with rules that don't make sense, including another conflict we had in the other production we did this year. What to you guys think about this? Anyone else have this rule in their school system?
