High School play depicts rape, filthy acts, language and public urination

[AvgGuyIA]

A guy pretending to take a piss on stage!? Awful, a godless society we've become!

They should do West Side Story instead! A musical about violent criminal gangs where people murder each other. lol

You overly-dramatic whiners crack me up.

Have we discovered another celebrant of public sex?
Are we talking about legal minors pissing on stage and other simulated vile acts? How about a sexy pole dance by the homecoming queen?

Btw, gangs who perform pirouettes on the way to a "rumble" in the streets of New York probably don't have murder on their minds.

No, we talking about how you are clutching your pearls over an award winning play b/c it offend your already delicate constitution. Starnes has a habit of blowing things our of proportion b/c it fits his 'the world is neigh' narrative and the easily offended are more then happy to oblige his hysterics.

West Story Story should not be allowed in high-school b/c it depicts violence and murder! Clearly not suitable for high-school students.

Aersnic and Old Lace should be out as well. Those sweet old ladies were serial killers and that is far too edgy for high-school students.

Can you cobble together a list of plays and musicals that students shouldn't be allowed to perform b/c it offends your sensibilities?

. Shove your pearls up your ass....on stage in front of an audience.

Masturbating on stage by high school students simulated or not should never be allowed. Award winning my ass! Hope you never have kids because you and your kind would be poor examples of parenting. I don't give a shit about the play being written or performed, but high school is not a venue for that. As for WSS and Arcenic and Old Lace, there is nothing wrong with that if the offenders ended up in jail or otherwise punished. Was there any condemnation of the vile acts performed on stage written into the script? Or was it considered normal and healthy? I bet it is the latter. What a great lesson in morality for the children.

Some people's "art" is another's porn and trash. This garbage doesn't belong in a high school setting

Are they doing a play about the life of bill clinton?

Thanks to Biill, 12 year old girls are giving blowjobs to their male classmates, because it isn't sex.

When I was 16 the school took us all to see The Tempest which was a set text. The word came back that their was nudity on stage and they had to lay on a second bus for the trip. Unfortunately we didnt get to see much because we were too far back.

Dont think that the experience damaged me over much.

Cant comment on this play as I havent seen it. However looking at some of its critics they arent the sharpest tools in the box.

High school kids have no business on the "cutting edge of art." Let them do West Side Story or Guys and Dolls. Leave the "cutting edge art" to grownups.

Why the H not? They are about to enter that real world as adults. They should be exposed to art of all types, even cutting edge art. High school kids, those who are 18, are adults or soon to be adults. Time they are treated as adults. This was not an elementary school it was high school.

West Side Story or Guys and Dolls is performed in middle school

Detriot changed his wicked ways in the end. What was the moral in the high school play, whatever it's called?

 

[AvgGuyIA]

That these kids accomplished something we should all be proud of.

But of course, your insipid moralizing is more important, right?

I would demand the school board fire the drama teacher and principal and have them arrested for contributing to the delinquency of minors.

Go for it, clown shoes. No one is stopping you.

Don't be surprised when they laugh in your face, though.

Nobody really gives a shit what a perpetually outraged whiner has to say about a nationally ranked school's performance of a play. If the parents were truly upset they would have pulled their students from the school and/or the play. They haven't done so. Get over it. Or don't. Either way, I really don't care. Ta.

 

[OldLady]

Well, perhaps better for a college drama club than a high school's. Too many people fail to recognize what high schoolers already know. If they are getting great reviews, I'm proud of them.
Catcher in the Rye caused a similar sensation back in the day. There was a lot more to that novel than the naughty bits, and I'm sure this play is the same. But to some, it is the end of civilization.

I'd say it's entirely inappropriate for minors and I question it's supposed "artistic merit". From what I've seen nearly anything can potentially get a pass as "art" or "free expression", even the works of Marquis de Sade.

You think half the kids in a large city have not gone through or know someone that has gone through most of the abuses and situation in the play?

kids are smarter than many parent want to think they are

What value is there in intentionally exposing kids as young as elementary age to that? What artistic merit does it serve anyway?

Liberals can't be trusted with children, this thread proves it. Already we have liberals excusing Mohammed's pedophilia because it was part of his culture.

But keep in mind that liberals are trying to change OUR culture, and the pre-mature sexualizing of young people is one of the changes they are trying to make.

Why do you think so many Hollywood stars get arrested for pedophilia and child pornography? Because that is the sexual orientation of choice for many liberals.

. The "I want to jack off in public" crowd is well represented in this forum. You would think they would be ridiculed and laughed at, but most would have pity on their parents who raised people with the morals of a goat in heat. Children should not be put in so-called "award-winning" plays with this sort of acting going on. This isn't hard to understand for normal people who don't want to watch public acts of sex and depravity flaunted in front of them and children.

(Bold Italics are excerpts taken from the article)

Carnegie Vanguard High School’s one act play had a little something for everyone: depictions of male-on-male rape, male-on-female rape, filthy language, on-stage urination, and an actress who simulated wiping her private parts at center stage. Oh yes, there was also a scene where a male cast member turned his back to the audience and dropped his pants, as fellow cast members deliver dialogue about the size of his appendage.
[Don’t you just love how avant garde “art” edifies our culture?]

The parent told me he confronted Carnegie’s principal immediately after the performance – but his concerns were dismissed. “At first, he said, ‘well ,you know, everyone has a different tolerance level,’” the parent said. “I told him, ‘No, sir. You cannot possibly tell me that it’s appropriate for any audience for a young lady to portray wiping her vagina after having sex behind a prop on stage.’”
[Is this principal a pervert?]

The district released a statement defending the theatrical production – noting they are “extremely proud” and they stand by the students “100 percent.”
[ Extremely proud? Now maybe you liberals can better understand why we deplore our educators who are so hung up on nothing but sexual liberty and choice, and gay is beautiful, and embrace the transgender movement, and watch this graphic video how to have sex, and we can get you a secret free abortion, and grab a bunch of condoms on your way out of class --- all the while castigating Christian thought and its morals.]

“People were disgusted and there was complete shock at what they had just seen,” he told me. “Elementary-aged children were exposed to this show.”
[“Yes, so? You want us educators to leave it to clueless parents how to expose them to safe sex and all that?”]

(One mother of a cast member student defended it asking ) “Isn’t theater supposed to challenge people?” she opined.
[Challenge? You mean like watching a student piss into a bucket on stage? The godless in this nation are blind and the Christians like me are cowards or maybe just giving up.]

An (approving) Houston Chronicle columnist described the show as “psychologically intense, an exploration of subjects such as violence, sex and race.”
[Boy if there is anything we can say our high schools now excel in it is the exploration of violence, sex and race. These educators need to be shot.]

High School play depicts rape, filthy language and public urination

Carnegie Vanguard High School’s one act play had a little something for everyone: depictions of male-on-male rape, male-on-female rape, filthy language, on-stage urination, and an actress who simulated wiping her private parts at center stage. Oh yes, there was also a scene where a male cast member turned his back to the audience and dropped his pants, as fellow cast members deliver dialogue about the size of his appendage.

The Houston high school’s racy production of “Holy Day” has generated great angst among the good church-going people of the Lone Star State. “Hello Dolly” it is not.

A Houston Chronicle columnist described the show as “psychologically intense, an exploration of subjects such as violence, sex and race.”

Carnegie’s eyebrow-raising show recently advanced in the Texas One-Act Play Contest – leading to a number of complaints – mostly from the parents of teen actors at competing schools.

“I was completely flabbergasted at the content,” one parent who saw the production told me.

One enraged father who attended the April 23 Region III-6A play competition filed a formal complaint with the Houston Independent School District.

“I was deeply offended by the obscene and inappropriate content,” the parent wrote – demanding the school be disqualified from the competition.

I spoke at length with the father, a former public school educator for 18 years. He asked that I not disclose his name – fearing it might cause trouble for his children.

His son was also competing in the one-act play competition – representing a different school. He said many people were shocked by what they saw during Carnegie’s performance.

“People were disgusted and there was complete shock at what they had just seen,” he told me. “Elementary-aged children were exposed to this show.”

The parent told me he confronted Carnegie’s principal immediately after the performance – but his concerns were dismissed.

“At first, he said, ‘well ,you know, everyone has a different tolerance level,’” the parent said. “I told him, ‘No, sir. You cannot possibly tell me that it’s appropriate for any audience for a young lady to portray wiping her vagina after having sex behind a prop on stage.’”

The University Interscholastic League told me they are “aware of some concerns” and are investigating the content of Carnegie’s play.

“UIL is making every effort to follow up with members of the public that have expressed concerns,” a spokesman wrote in a statement. “The administration of the producing school shall assure that the director complies with these requirements and that the play does not offend the moral standards of the community.”

Apparently the moral standards within the Houston Independent School District are not all that high.

“Such obscene and offensive language and content has no place in any high school in the state of Texas,” the concerned parent wrote in his complaint.

The district released a statement defending the theatrical production – noting they are “extremely proud” and they stand by the students “100 percent.”

“The script has been thoughtfully modified to be appropriate for a broad, young-adult audience,” the district’s statement read. “Carnegie students have treated the script’s mature subject matter with admirable sensitivity, skill and professionalism.”

I suppose it does take a bit of skill to pee in a bucket during a live stage performance.

Perhaps the Tony Awards should consider adding a new category: “Best On Stage Depiction of Bodily Functions.”

Carnegie parents are defending the profanity-laced production. One parent convinced the Houston Chronicle to publish a column titled, “How Edgy Should High-School Theater Be?”

“The last time I saw it, some of the audience was in tears. Others walked out. Still others sat silently in their seats, stunned by the journey they had been on,” wrote Alice Savage, the mother of one of the cast members.

“Isn’t theater supposed to challenge people?” she opined.

Well, sure. But can’t they challenge us without dropping their pants and urinating into a bucket?

Critics want the show disqualified – but I sincerely doubt the powers-that-be will oblige. And I have no doubt the school’s production could possibly win first prize.

“If they do, it will not be due to their ability to shock and offend, but to move audiences with a distinctly human story,” Ms. Savage wrote.

A distinctly human story, I might add, that would be best-suited for a seedy adult bookstore – rather than a high school theatrical competition.

Please don't yell to loud, congress will pass a bill on the matter.

Liberals are sick perverts, and this thread proves it. They hate children, and want to either abort them, or abuse them for sexual pleasure. Satan is laughing at their evil, and will reap them in when they die.

Why do you think so many Hollywood stars get arrested for pedophilia and child pornography? Because that is the sexual orientation of choice for many liberals.

They are desensitizing our children to want to suck dick if they're a boy and chew carpet if a girl. Already it has been mentioned in another thread here that the millennials are starting to experiment with gay sex, because to not to would mean they must be homophobes. And we sure can't be against homo sex, huh? Why, that would be bigotry.
