I am about 30 minutes (and four commercial break blocks) into 20/20, and it's a pretty good show so far. The kids are interesting and the administrators are not cliches.....
<nod>
In fact, I would have to say the the Theatre and Drama Departments of most of the high schools in Northern Virginia - especially Fairfax County - are far from being "clichéd" in any way, shape or form. In fact, some of the high schools put on some pretty incredible productions. And since some of the schools have good band and orchestra programs, they usually have full pit orchestras too.
-Which has always made me wonder about the cuts in Arts programs there since those programs seems to be very popular
and competitive. If there's a definite interest from the students - and their parents - why would schools cut back on the programs? Yes, they may not bring in the big bucks like football does - even though I'm not sure just how a high school football program brings in the "big bucks" - but I'm sure they break even.
