Place for Allegorical Play

Thanks Julie! Your the best!

Randie, Julie, Spencer, Brittany, Cindy

This play takes place at a high school, in the current time period. It starts off with a boy wanting to join the cheerleading team. The girls on the team do not want the boy there because they don’t think it is normal. There is a girl who doesn’t think its right that he should be secluded just for being a boy, so she tries to help him. As the play progresses things get worse for the people trying to be kind and make things fair. The characters in the play are the boy trying out for cheerleading, the cheerleading coach, the cheerleader on the boy’s side, and two cheerleaders against the boy. This is a Domestic Tragedy because everyone here is on the same level, nobody has too much more power than anyone else.

Page 7, description of our metaphor

== Literally our play is about a boy trying out for the cheerleader team, and being turned down., but the figurative meaning implies that denying the right to gay marriage in America is unfair. Spencer as a male trying out for the cheerleader represents the gay community. He is just as good a cheerleader as all the other girls, maybe even better, but he is denied a spot on the team because of his sex. Spencer struggle represents the unfair fight that gay people have to deal with everyday, being denied simple rights due to an uncontrollable genetic trait. Although same sex, and different sex couples have the same amount of love for each other, same sex couples are robbed of the commitment of marriage; Just like Spencer has just as much skill as the other cheerleaders, but is unjustly robbed of his spot on the team. The cheer leading team consists of three main cheerleaders, two of which strongly oppose of having a boy on their team, while the third sees that the team could use his skill, and that its unfair to tell him he cant join. The team represents American society, more people seem to oppose the rights to gay marriage then to fight to change the immoral law. Society compares to the cheer leading team because more girls are against Spencer's right to be on the team then people that admit that it is unfair to deny him the spot only due to his genetics. The play ends with the two sides conflicting, the girls beat up Spencer which makes him and Randi very upset. They Both show up to practice and the final decision is left up to the coach. Despite the pleas from Randy and Spencer, the coach decides he can not be on the team. The coaches final decision is meant to represent the law against gay marriage. The coach represents the American Government, who sits back and hears the opposing side to the argument, but in the end they keep the unjust law in place. Our play compares the law against gay marriage to very common unfair situation, the point is to show people just how wrong the law is. ==
