Bat Boy suppressed in Indiana!

For the first time that I know of, a mean ol' principal has stopped a scheduled high-school production of Bat Boy from being performed. It's been deemed "offensive and impossible to modify." (Best. Review. Ever.)

Bryan Fonseca, producing director of the Phoenix Theater in Indianapolis where the play had its Indiana debut in 2001-02, said that what happens in the play is similar to what is happening with its cancellation at Homestead.

“It’s a great analogy,” he said. “We do tend to demonize the other, somebody that’s different, somebody that doesn’t conform, and that’s one of the messages of the play and that’s exactly what’s happening when this kind of censorship takes place.

“There really are wonderful lessons in the play. It’s just so sad. It’s absolutely tragic.”

My sympathies to the cast and crew, who must be bummed to have the show pulled even after rehearsals had begun.
