"Ascension Day" and "Bang Bang You're Dead" are two small-scaled one-acts, mediocre in writing and direction, that want to make the world a better place. [Bang] has been rewritten post-Columbine. It tries to get inside the head of Josh, an ostracized high-school student turned killer.
Why do taxpayers tolerate this kind of fluff? If we're forced to pay for educating other people's children, the least we should be able to expect is for them to learn basic skills. Can any of these cast members (students) read Shakespeare, or even know who he was? Can any of them pass algebra?
Every one of these arts schools hires some black guy from Cleveland who dresses up in African tribal garb, calls himself Mbafa Kumpundi, and shows kids how to beat on drums. This gig is called "cultural sensitivity". I know of a performing arts high school in another large, urban school district. All day long "diverse" faculty members tell kids that Whites are oppressors.
