	School for Scandal
		The greatest threat to school choice is a small Christian academy in Jupiter, Fla., where the anti-gay obsessions of the Christian right have resulted in the kind of Christian wrong that could convince everybody that vouchers just won't work.
		What Jupiter's recent ejection of a 17-year-old gay student, apparently tracked down for interrogation, suggests is that public dollars that would otherwise go to a public school system that is not allowed to discriminate, instead find their way into the coffers of one that has fused cruelty and sanctimony in a living sculpture of intolerance.
		School choice that merely puts education dollars in places a student cannot take advantage of them -- be it because he is gay or fl or, for that matter, a Christian -- is farce masquerading as virtue.

		This version of The School for Scandal also opens and closes with recently penned original poems (by Todd Hearon and Maggie Dietz) that insist on the play's relevance.
		There are so many winks to the audience that this School for Scandal seems like a play within a play -- about a theater company trying to justify its fondness for extravagant wigs and English accents.
		My biggest problem with this School is that the fuzzy characterizations (exactly what is Joseph Surface after?) and the odd stage direction (is that person in or out of the room?) often make it difficult to figure out what's going on.

		A meeting of school principals, convened recently under the auspices of provincial authorities, decided that students from the affected schools would be transferred to the nearest schools that are able to function.

		The scandal sheds light on the Uzbek government’s inefficiency, as officials on the local, provincial and national level have engaged in mutual recrimination over who is to blame for the current situation.

		Several of the themes which run through the play –; particularly the efforts of the spin doctors and gossip-columnists who make up the School for Scandal – seem as suited to a twentieth century setting as to the period when it was first performed.
		Sheridan’s play is written in five acts using several different locations – we have reduced the number of acts and locations and in places made minor changes to the dialogue so as to be more in keeping with our relatively modern setting.
