Sam Schwall- 1st period Draining the Daring From A High School Production of 'Rent'

            I read the article, Draining The Daring From A High School Production of ‘Rent’, by Scott Simon. This article explores an issue in Turnbull, Conn involving a high school principal cancelling a production of Rent because of “challenging issues.” While the issue itself isn’t a huge national concern, this story is very relevant to young artists like us. The debate goes on as an opera house has offered their stage for the production.

            I believe that as high school students, the cast has the maturity to perform a show with controversial themes and some of the most revolutionary art comes from young people. It will be interesting to see how the school will respond. What do you think?
