School Postpones Play About Campus Shooting
Backstage: "Educators at John Marshall Fundamental Secondary School in Pasadena, Calif., have postponed the school's production of William Mastrosimone's Bang Bang You're Dead after receiving complaints that the show's content would be inappropriate in light of the Virginia Tech campus shootings. The play was scheduled to begin its two-week run on April 19."

I really hope that they decide to actually go through with the play. I understand their decision to postpone it, but we always talk about "Why this play now?" and plays are excellent ways to address current events although this play is probably too literal to have done right then as originally scheduled.
