Censorbleep

by Lindsay Price Canadian Author

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.

We had a great time with this play. My students really enjoyed it - and its message. We premiered at regional competition and brought home four awards -three for individual performances and one for "Best Set"!

The students were challenged to explore different interpretations of the play, and the script lends itself to so many layers of meaning. The ensemble work was fantastic, and the balanced roles helped every student feel invested. Even now, the cast continues to make fresh discoveries and meaningful connections to their own lives and the world around them. The themes felt especially relevant as well.
