Totally true! Now they don't even want you to have drinks or cigarettes in your hand. Its not encouraging that behavior-its called acting!! Anyway, my predicament is that many of the newer shows have language, situations, etc. but the older shows have references that are dated. I'm all for educating the kids about it, but when it may limit my audience or their understanding of the play, it makes it harder. So right now, I'm considering, Is He dead?, the man who came to dinner, curious savage, my sister eileen, father of the bride, and harvey.

Already done:

Our Miss Brooks
Murder in the Wings
Get Smart
Dearly Departed (ct)

I love the nerd but the cast is too small. I use the fall comedy to train for the spring musical.

I don't think it's really "pc" which is the problem. "Political Correctness" is a phrase used by the politically left to keep from hurting people's feeling, basically. The problem being addressed seems more to be the right wing taking more of a firm hold over our lives, deciding for others what is good for them. Face it - there are a lot of "pc" actors and actresses who drink and smoke in the movies.

What I always find amusing - well, actually, appalling - is that they (that great unknown They who are always trying to run our lives) don't want any mention of smoking or drinking in plays - but have no problem with children playing thieves or murderers in plays. I just think they have their priorities way out of whack.

*hops off soap box*

definitely harvey or i really like bunnicula

I like Faith County- both the org. and the second one.  But I did them a looong time ago and can't remember if anything was too much- it was a high school production- which makes me think that they were pretty clean.  They were very funny and fun to be in- although I am here in the south and that may have played a huge part in how funny the shows were to the audience(as it sort of plays with southern stereo-types):)
