Canceled by Principal, Student Play Heads to Off Broadway
New York Times: "Students at a Connecticut high school whose principal canceled a play they were preparing on the Iraq war are now planning to perform the work in June in New York, at the Public Theater, a venerable Off Broadway institution, and at the Culture Project, which is known for staging politically provocative work. A third show at a Connecticut theater is also being discussed."

funny how the school intended to cancel the show and only helped to catapult it into the stratosphere and book it in great theaters in new york and connecticut. this is exactly the kind of thing that the industry is ending up becoming...controversial stuff is canceled in one venue only to be moved to usually larger more public venue...i feel bad for the principal...looks they aren't winning this one.
