"save our chilllllllldrennnnnnnnnnn!!!!"
one parent pitched a fit about actors acting in roles that didn't match their gender; claimed actors playing female roles who were male and vice-versa was 'drag' and 'grooming' in a 20-character show with a 12-actor cast. SHAME on that school, kowtowing to such blatant stupidity!

no actors were 'in drag', but this stupid parent got triggered by a picture of one actor (taken 5 years ago) wearing drag and so went ballistic, claiming that if men are wearing women's clothing that's drag, despite there being no drag in J&tGP, just actors acting.Main Street Theaters’ marketing director Shannon Emerick said that theater has used cross-gender casting for thousands of years. It allows actors to demonstrate their different talents and allows theaters to reduce the number of actors required to produce a work.
