Let's Play:Pop The Bubble!

I, like many of you, have decided on a senior project that I find creative, educational, and a good use of my time for a few months.  Also, like many of you, my senior project was rejected by some administrator who shall remain unnamed (in order to protect Mr. Steven Ast's anonymity).  My senior project involves me producing and directing a student-production of Samuel Beckett's Endgame, a very powerful one-act play, and seemed to me to further my studies of theatre and expand my knowledge of my craft so, of course, I found myself very confused to be called down to the office for a meeting. Mr. "Last Name Rhymes With Sast"'s reason? It was too "In the Bubble"...what? Because the only theatre that in their right mind would let a teenager direct happens to be in Chagrin makes it not worthy of my time?  I can not learn if I spend time in Chagrin? What does that mean? If we live in a well-to-be (albeit predominantly white) community, why does that cancel out a sense of worldliness? After posing these questions to Vice Principal Dingus, I was awarded my right to direct, but what about others who actually think out consequences before they do things (like refer to their Vice-Principal as a dingus?) The bubble may hold us back culturally but the students here are blessed with a wealth of opportunity that should not be discouraged for mere geographic location.  If you had your senior project rejected (and it wasn't something stupid like "Interning at a party factory in Cancun!") then pose these questions. I'm sure you'll get results!...and that I'll get in trouble for this.
