LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Students and parents at a Las Vegas-area high school are still reeling after they said their spring musical was cancelled.
“My senior musical just got ripped from me, and I was excited to have that last thing,” Lanae Sullivan, senior at Del Sol Academy said. “A lot of people were asking questions about the cancellation and trying to provide solutions, and then towards the end of the meeting, they told us all to go back to class.”
Del Sol Academy sent out a letter to parents announcing that the musical production of “Mean Girls” had been canceled. Stating that due to scheduling conflicts and lack of adequate preparation time, they had decided to cancel the show.
“When I got the news, I was pretty devastated about it,” Sevyn Schwurack, a student at the school said.
Parents such as Selma Greer shared that even with the letter from the school, there are still so many unanswered questions.
“All of the details as to the real reason why are a bit obscure, and we don’t know specifically what happened, we just know how the kids felt and what happened after,” Greer expressed.
Even so, Greer said she wanted to make sure her kids got the opportunity to take center stage, whether at school or not.
“I bought the licensing, and I took it on myself so that they could have their show. It’s been overwhelming at times and a lot to take on, but it was the right thing to do,” she told 8 News Now.
The production of Mean Girls is set to take place in downtown Las Vegas at Notoriety Comedy Club, Friday, May 16, and Sunday, May 18. For more information on how to attend the musical, click HERE.
8 News Now reached out to the Clark County School District for comment on the matter, a spokesman for the district stated they were unaware of the issue and would look into it.
