And this is why people need to stop taking extracurriculars so seriously in high school… it’s not meant to be serious, it’s meant to be an outlet, to help you develop and learn skills, and for some be a safe place to exist. That’s a great teacher

‘The musical does not need some people, some people need the musical’ is a phrase to live by!!

I wish the coaches felt the same way about letting all the kids get time on the field.

Some people DO need the musical. My best compliment as a HS teacher/director for 32 years was from an average actor on his last day of senior year. He shouted at me from the far end of the foyer, “Mr. C! You change kids’ lives!” That’s why we do it, right?

I remember as a kid doing a school musical where there were too few roles for the amount of kids so every speaking role was double casted. But instead of having them switch out with each other both would be on stage at the same time next to each other switching between lines like that stereotype twin-speak trope.

And sometimes the kid in the ensemble that Mr. Garrett barely thought about have a career in their small liberal arts theater because he taught them to not give up

my choir director in hs didn't hold auditions for a similar reason. if you wanted to sing, you were in, no questions asked. it was amazing and a lot of people (myself included) benefited greatly from that. we learned to sing, found community and a shared passion.
