I chose Radium Girls for my play this year, and I have 13 actors. The six 9th and 10th graders like the show, but the seven Seniors don't like it at all! They just cannot get jazzed up about it. They have done Big Fish, Peter and the Starcatcher, AntigoneX, Twelfth Night, The Real Inspector Hound, and Almost, Maine and they had sooooo much fun. This show to them seems like such a let down for their last show, and they're really bummed. I hate to disappoint them! And to be honest, after reading the play out loud at the table read I also didn't fall in love with it.
If you directed the show at your school, did you love it? did your seniors? and why?
