Walton Co. School Board Meets about Blithe Spirit!!

[DuneAHH]

Now what is needed more than anything is some good old fashion sold out performances. Come and support the kids, the teacher and the school. Show the kids that this community is behind them by attending the play one or more nights. Let your friends and neighbors know that they need to come to the play to show their support not only of the theater program but of these kids who have been through so much.

Hi BDarg,
You're right ... maybe it would be a good idea to start a new thread focused solely on supporting the SWHS performance of Harvey with dates, times, ticket prices, etc.
Many people may miss this information if it's buried in this thread.;-)

Be sure to email the interfering church members too. They seem so interested in the play I'm sure they want to be there.

Are you kidding me? In its original form it bordered on fluff. What the $@#! did you take out?

The references to alcohol. Beer was changed to Koolaid and a martini was changed to lemonade or visa versa. Maybe they ought to change both to mead! That good old Biblical drink of Heroes and Champions

there goes any chance of The Thin Man...

Interesting true story:

that occurred in a group therapy session I once attended.

Each person in the group was to share a synopsis of their childhood. After one of the people briefly described their childhood...the psychologist piped up with this analysis: "clearly your father was an alcoholic & you are repeating that pattern".

The twist came when it was revealed that the father was, in proven fact, a life-long teetotaler who continually preached AGAINST the evils of alcohol!

IMO, that father was an example of how people can take on the "qualities & characteristics" of what they fear the most & preach loudest against.
His soul indiscriminately "consumed" his repeated word (alcohol) ... without requiring the body to actually engage in the act of drinking it.

It kind of makes me sad for the people who are so consumed with seeking out EVIL under every rock & behind every tree... they'll probably find it... but perhaps in ways they never "conceived".

I'm off to seek out the nearest sunbeam...then wallow & whistle!

Great post, Dune Ahh

Are you sure you don't want to teach, or maybe run for the school board??

Wasn't mead more from the Vikings than the Bible? (I've only read about wine in the Bible...)

Since the alcohol doesn't really advance the plot in any way, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. Most public high schools I work with tend to do the same sort of subtle editing.

My favorite creative edit was actually in Young Life, though. We sang "Friends in Low Places" with the lyric: "...where the cookies drown and the milk chases my blues away..."
