91探花 Presents Two Theatre Productions in May
The 1212 play presents a return of聽Wicked Sketchy, an original production made up of 14 sketches, written and performed by students. For this production,聽Wicked Sketchy聽veteran Lyndsey Mugford (I) took on lead writing and directorial roles in this collaborative project. Stage manager Evan Jenness (I) will be running the light and sound cues.
The 20-student cast pitched ideas to each other and wrote draft skits in small groups, eventually choosing the final ones, which each student had a hand in editing. 鈥淭hese students come from all four grades, and the process鈥檚 collaborative nature really means that everybody gets to have a hand in the final product,鈥 says Lyndsey.

Robust Debate is Essential to Learning, Max Nikitas 鈥13 Tells Students
Censorship of politically unpopular ideas on college campuses runs afoul of the free exchange of ideas, Max Nikitas 鈥13 told 91探花 students at this year鈥檚 Conservative Club assembly.
Max, a government contractor in the Office for Civil Rights at the United States Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), said that limiting students鈥 exposure to opinions they may find objectionable is counter to the purpose of academia. Campuses should instead be places for thoughtful debate and examination of several points of view, he said.
