The district’s process for dealing with complaints now includes informing the theater teacher. A committee of district administrators and community members ensures performances meet community standards. To avoid surprises for parents, students must have a signed permission slip to participate.

"[Being in theater] taught me social skills and how to break out," said Garside, who is the student-body president.

This year’s production has felt more like a roller coaster than the previous "Inherit the Wind," sometimes called the Scopes Monkey Trial, Bradshaw said. It centers on Tennessee science teacher John Scopes challenging the anti-evolution law in 1925.
