Update on Ithaca High Schools Spring Production
Quote:Just four short weeks ago, auditions for "Hairspray" began after the school's initial musical "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was scrapped due to a controversy over the show's casting.

The controversy drew national attention and a flood of online threats and harassment was directed at the school, its students and their families.

The push for a more inclusive production was spearheaded by Students United Ithaca, a group of five Ithaca High School students. Three of the students were cast in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" before dropping out.

But all five of the students — Carroll, Ari Cummings, Annabella Mead-VanCort, Eamon Nunn-Makepeace and Prachi Ruina — wrote letters to local newspapers, signed petitions, attended community events, spoke at school board meetings and posted on their Facebook page to advocate for not just a more inclusive production, but for more a more inclusive environment and race education within the school's walls.
