Alien as a high-school play? Thumbs down to dumbed-down theatre for teens

that went viral this past weekend looks cool.

At a certain point, however, the mainstream media got involved and ruined the fun by hyping up this high-school show beyond all reason. That’s obviously penned by someone who has never spent time in a high-school gym watching a teacher trying to get a few dozen students, many of whom are going through puberty and have new voices and bodies they’re still getting used to, to sing in harmony and dance in step in a musical.

GlobeArts Yeah, adolescents can only refine their creative thinking and communication skills with Shakespeare. 👎🏼

GlobeArts Imagine writing an article dragging a highschool play, reading it over, and thinking to yourself that you've really done some good work today.

GlobeArts What a rag.

GlobeArts 4 year theatre major here: When I was in high school, the theatre was an outlet for me as a Iranian kid with one parent and no pathway set for me. It was a place where I could create anything. The definition of theatre doesn't belong to Tennessee Williams. Nor to Shakespeare.

GlobeArts Everyone: Irrelevant outdated publication: *takes pompous shit on creative high school students but no one notices because no one is willing to pay for said publication*

GlobeArts Boo on you. I don't care what they did a Play of. They practiced/wrote/built everything for that. The fact they pulled something like that off is very special

GlobeArts THEATRE IS AN EVOLVING ART FORM! The fact that they put in the effort to adapt Alien for stage is both praiseworthy and revolutionary.

GlobeArts Yea! They should dress up like cats and sing insipid songs instead! Now THATS theatre.

GlobeArts The Globe and Mail: * sobs, wanks self*

GlobeArts Oh this is worth the paywall, for sure.

GlobeArts If it keeps them out of trouble

GlobeArts Yes, this is not theater. Fun... maybe but not theater.
