Having participated in theater when I was in high school, I can tell you this will affect a lot of people negatively. Firstly, the students who were in the play and put in long hours and much effort into preparing for it. Secondly, the teacher that directed it and already adjusted the script to the satisfaction of the parents who had children in the play...I mean really, are the kids supposed to duck out for a contraband bag of potato chips? And thirdly, the students who worked on the sets, costumes, and lighting...all their work for nothing. And as has already been stated...showing these kids that all their work means nothing because three people..one of whom didn't even SEE the play, object to it. I remember putting on shows with such racy subject matter as teen drinking, child abuse, adultery, and some mild swearing, and as far as I know, no one objected. Thank god this didn't happen to me, I'd have been supremely pissed off.
