My wife and I traveled to a small town, pop 2500, in northeast Ohio on Sunday to see a high school play in which my wife's cousin's daughter had the lead. (Cousin once removed? Niece? Anyway - family) The play was Oklahoma. The male lead, Curly, comes on stage with a six gun on his belt. I'm aghast. Is it real? Is it loaded? A few scenes later during "Poor Jud is dead" both Curly and Jud fire their six guns. By now it is obvious they are toys because of the orange muzzle breaks. A bit latter Aunt Eller points one of these guns at the farmers and cowboys. How is this allowed to happen in 2018? How did these weapons get onto school property? How are the faculty advisors allowed to keep their jobs? Why aren't these students expelled?
In summary, I was impressed with the talent these kids showed and the small town common sense and values that were apparent during our visit. My guess, Oklahoma could not be performed in the Indianapolis schools.
For you youngsters on INGO, rent the movie. Be warned, it's a musical.
