I think these two pieces from our magazine will help with your questions or at least provide more context. Both articles from the writers of the show:

Have you seen or read the musical? If not, I can send you a script. We (Samuel French) feel that this is an especially important show because of the current events you mentioned. The anti-bullying message is exactly the kind of thing high schoolers should be working through. We even had a recent high school present a talk with a suicide prevention expert for their students when they presented Heathers.

Even though you are referencing the SNL skit, The Crucible is a great example because it is also essentially about bullying, among many other things. I've seen both versions (the off-Broadway and the high school) and Heathers the Musical is anything but frivolous. It is sharp satire that promotes an anti-bullying, equality, pro-women message.

Full disclosure, I work at Samuel French. I'd be happy to send you a copy of the script if you would like to read it.

I lived a block down the street from this Starbucks for several years. I spent lots of time there, more than I have at any other Starbucks before or since. During a period of unemployment, it was resume central for me. I've since moved away, but have received several calls and e-mails about this closing

All this to say...good for them for doing something. Starbucks wouldn't be in this position had they not screwed with their business model so much. I'm glad to see my old peeps taking a stand. ;)

Works just fine! And that would be my dad's hair, circa 1977.

On a positive note, I live about 20 minutes from Hampton, VA. If you come up here in May, I'll come get you from the hotel and we can possibly catch up.
