Peter Atlas, teacher and director of theatrical productions at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School, in Concord MA, decided to stage a production of “Falsettos”, a musical play that contains the following themes:
1. a man who abandons his family for his gay lover
2. lesbian neighbors
3. a “healthy dose of profanity and pornography” (per these wingnuts)
The godbag asshats at Massresistance can’t stand the fact that a high school wanted to stage a play that deals with issues that happen in the real world. I bet they’d much rather see traditional musicals like Carousel, Sweet Charity, Cabaret, Guys and Dolls, Godspell, Little Shop of Horrors, Mame, Grease, The Fantasticks, Gypsy, or West Side Story.
Oh, wait!
- Carousel (domestic violence)
- Sweet Charity (prostitution)
- Cabaret (abortion, homosexuality, anti-semitism)
- Guys and Dolls (gambling, drinking, premarital sex)
- Godspell (dirty hippies, blasphemy)
- Little Shop of Horrors (sadism, murder)
- Mame (sex, binge drinking, non-traditional families)
- Grease (sex, smoking, drinking)
- The Fantasticks (rape)
- Gypsy (child labor, stripping)
- West Side Story (gang violence, rape, murder)
Send a note to Mr. Atlas and his school principal Peter Badalament and let them know that ignoring the “what about the children!” godbags was the right thing to do.
