Only 5?
Let it go.
There won't even be enough time for the Tams-Whitmark to see it, much less get a letter written and sent out.

Posted: 2/4/11 at 4:21pmIs there no way for you to verify anything by sitting in on a rehearsal or something? I've never participated in academic theatre in which rehearsals were private.

I could, but not for the next couple of weeks - they usually invite the teachers to come in towards the last week of rehearsals.
At this point, the principal is going to check in to it. If they did everything right, there's nothing to worry about and the principal just did his job of following up to make sure everything was fine. If they didn't do everything right, then I saved the school the potential for a lot of problems.
Even if the school didn't get caught, does that really make it right? Just because you don't get CAUGHT doing something illegal, doesn't make it right - especially in a school setting where we're supposed to be teaching kids some degree of morality.

Well, I'm going to stay out of most the argument here.. I WILL only chime in to say this one thing --
The students aren't involved at all in the process of acquiring the rights to the show or anything, so they are not made aware of the the process, the necessity, etc. Therefore, there really is no lesson for the kids there.

Oy.
Unfortunately this happens far too often in community/high school theater.

Posted: 2/4/11 at 6:21pmYou're right - there's no lesson -- unless the school gets in trouble. OR, if the director is a decent teacher, pulls the number and explains why.

Sorry, I meant the lesson was for the teacher. If she does this thing all of the time, then it's not bothering anyone but the OP.
She made her bed, and IF (And I say that knowing full well that T-W doesn't care about a school production with 5 performances) a letter is sent, by the time it arrives, the show will be closed.
Let the kids have their fun.
