Summer Camp: Warning Audiences and Neighbouring Fathers

summer camp: The walkout happened Thursday during intermission, The Laramie Boomerang reported, according to Metro News. It wasn't clear how many students attending the Native American Summer Institute at the campus in Laramie walked out of the show. The University of Wyoming is warning audiences about offensive material in a travelling musical after Native American high school students walked out of a performance of The Fantasticks. The 1960 musical, which is about two neighbouring fathers who trick their children into falling in love by pretending to feud, contains a scene in which characters dress up as and villainize Native Americans. The walkout prompted criticism from UW's United Multicultural Council and a boycott by another summer camp. Attendees said they were also shocked at the casual use of the word rape in the musical's dialogue. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
