O and I went to see RENT (the HS version) at her school this weekend. Public kudos to her school for being bold enough to produce a controversial musical with thought provoking themes and for encouraging a bunch of upper-class kids to think outside of their narrowly defined lives (they tied the production to several charitable causes supporting AIDS/homelessness and drug addiction). I love O's school but sometimes I am so proud she belongs to such a great community which encourages the kids to think beyond themselves.
