Diversity Scholarly Article

This article is about a High school putting on a gay-themed musical. The director Peter Atlas had a lot of doubt of people comming for auditions, because he was casting for two homosexual couples, a straight couple and a 12-year-old boy. But when it came time for that Atlas had about 50 students show up to for auditions, for only a seven member cast. The play they are doing is "Falsettos." The co-writer of this play; William Finn, thinks that them doing this for an outside audience is either very brave or very stupid of this high school. But he wishes the best for them.

This is diversity of people's sexual orentation and straight people playing homosexual people for the play and they don't seem to have any problem with that. I think that the author is just trying to inform to people that this maybe be something very different for a play but its jut informing people that this is what a true actor or someone would do for their passion. This is going to affect who ever is involved in the play and maybe some famous actors. But it will deffinitely affect the audience that will be there to watch the show. This article shows diversity by let people know that just because its a gay-themed musical thats not going to hold anyone back from being a part of it though it may be odd. Its something very different from the usual high school play, its a big step forward.

I think that this is a good thing for the high school to do. It can express to people just because its gay-themed doesn't mean you dont have to do to, and you dont have to be of the sexual orientation to be a part of it. It's a great way of express that to a large audience that can spread to other people. This could possibly change high school plays because its a big step forward for a choice of a play. It think that it was a great thing for them to do and i support it,
