Student Plays

I just read Bob Pool’s excellent Aug. 14 article about drama students who started a theater company, arranged financing, put on successful plays and donated the money to their school--only to have the L.A. County High School for the Arts administrators bawl them out.

Instead of teaching theater, the administrators are teaching bureaucracy and the CYA attitude that destroys innovation. Shame on them. As for the students, the show must go on!
