Let students see 'Romeo and Juliet'

To the editor:

As an actor in the production of "Romeo and Juliet" at Southeast Missouri State University, I am deeply saddened by the actions taken by the local school administrators by not allowing their students to see this production. Our performance stays true to form and book. You would see the same show performed in a St. Louis theater. Maybe if these administrators would have attended the show over the weekend, they would have seen that there is nothing wrong with the material. I can only hope that the parents of these students take the time to give their children an opportunity to see the show. I am positive that Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave right now.
