Theatrefolk Featured Play: Censorbleep by Lindsay Price

The Bleep Bleep Girls are the greatest group in school. They know what’s best for you. They know what you should say and how you should behave. And today they’re going to show you a great skit. Perfectly clean, and one hundred percent bleeped. And you’re going to like it.

What’s the matter? Don’t you want to be a good person? Don’t you want to do the right thing? Don’t you want to be bleeped?

You better be careful. People with independent thoughts get dealt with.

Censorbleep takes a sharp, thought-provoking look at censorship in a high school setting.

What happens when independent thought is discouraged, obedience is rewarded, and humanity gives way to robotic acceptance? This issue-driven play pushes those questions to the forefront while giving student performers plenty to explore.

Special thanks to Karen Loftus and her students at St. Cloud High School in Florida, who participated in the play’s first workshop and earned an “Excellent” rating for the premiere production at the District 11 One-Act Festival.
