In this March 6, 2013 photo, Clara Faile as Peter Pan, upper right, teaches Wendy, played by Lauren Nitka, and her brothers John, played by Jacob Malinowski and Michael, played by Mohamed Masalkhi, in Greendale High School Theatre's production of the musical "Peter Pan."No one — not a dictator, not a politician, not a celebrity, not an influencer — is in possession of more power than a high school theater director.
Marji Eldreth, the music teacher at the Cab Calloway School of the Arts in Wilmington, Delaware, is no doubt well aware of this. That’s why she’s keeping her students in daily suspense this semester by revealing, by process of elimination, which musical the school will perform next year. Every day, she takes a logo of a musical off her piano and rips it up in front of her classroom, explaining why it didn’t make the cut this year.
And she documents the whole dramatic elimination process on TikTok, for her 24,000 rapt followers to witness.
