Your predecessor, Mr. Bob Heimerl ...who, as far as I know, usually picked plays based on how little work he had to do to get them and how little work he had to do to put them together...our class had one of the best casts within a three year span and he seemed to waste it with some of the cheesiest plays I've known (Up the Down Staircase, A Flurry of Birds, blech...)
He DID have the great idea of having, during the Spring Quarter, student-directed one act plays...which were sometimes written by the students themselves...they were great fun and good experience (I got to write and direct one myself) and usually the most interesting productions of the year...But in hindsight, he did that ALSO because it meant less work for him...
I'm so glad those kids have you now instead of him...so so glad...
