Quote:An upstate New York high school has pulled its upcoming musical production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” after students protested the casting of a white classmate for the lead role of Esmeralda.

Ithaca High School faced backlash by some students who banded together in protest following the exit of another member of the spring play due to the casting of Esmeralda – a fictional character that portrays a 15th century Romani gypsy in Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel.

“It shows you that theater wasn’t made for you,” Maddi Carroll, 17, an African-American senior who quit the production, told the Ithaca Journal. “And it shows you that if you can’t get the parts that are written for you, what parts are you going to get?”

The move prompted student activists who make up the group Students United Ithaca to pressure the school for a more diverse cast.

“Because of institutionalized racism this results in white children being cast in roles written as white parts and also white children being cast in roles that were specifically intended for people of color,” the group posted to Facebook in a list of 10 “demands” for the Ithaca City School District.

“Make no mistake, the world is not colorblind. Casting cannot be colorblind. Enough is Enough.”

Another demand read: “STOP ignoring and denying that you have created a white centered program run by white adults for the benefit of white children.”

Students also wrote a protest letter posted on Tompkins Weekly on Jan. 8 saying: “Unfortunately, it has also come to our attention that the casting of this musical is antithetical to the very message which beats throughout the heart of the musical itself.”

The letter continued: “We speak, specifically, of the casting choice of the role of Esmerelda. Before we speak further, we want to stress that the talented young woman who was cast in this role is a stellar actor, singer, and dancer. She has worked hard to hone her craft and the IHS stage, or any stage, would be lucky to have her. Our concern is not with her, but with the fact that in terms of demographics, she is the wrong choice for this role.”

Following the complaints, the school announced its cancellation of the production late last month.

“The active community engagement and conversation about the selection of the Hunchback of Notre Dame for the Ithaca High School musical has led to many conversations in our school district,” the Ithaca School District posted on its website.

“This dialogue has affirmed our observations and wishes to have a more inclusive and culturally responsive learning community. In short, our efforts to eliminate institutional biases are ongoing.”

In announcing that the play would not go forward, the school district said: “In lieu of the planned musical, another collaborative project will provide young people and our community the opportunity to engage together while fully expressing the talents of our students.”

“A new project is currently being discussed by students, families and educators. This project will also engage the talents and skills of students previously cast,” the district said.

FFS.

so, they gonna cancel the soccer team when not enough black kids are starting? Cause they don't come out? How about the Asian, Muslim or honky kids that can't make the basketball team? I think they call them "managers".

this is insanity writ large.

I love how white people created basically everything yet black people feel entitled to everything.

White people created pretty much every single sport.

Despite that they only make up 27.4% of the NFL (and a lot that is kickers or punters). They make up only 18.3% of the NBA.

White people created cinema (TV) yet you're starting to see less and less white people in shows and movies.

Nobody is stopping black people from creating a ****** Madea movie with an almost all black cast either.

What the hell have black people even created / invented?

White people... they make everything. Black people... they take everything white people made yet still complain nonstop.

Are you serious? This can’t be serious. African-Americans are responsible for everything we have in this country. They invented our music, they invented our culture as we know it. White people have done nothing but steal and copy for centuries. White people have contributed nothing but hate to this world. I apologize every day to whoever will listen for my whiteness. I will never have children with a white woman simply so i won’t bring anymore white people into this world. Get your facts straight before you spew your hate speech.

He's right. This is sickening. I think it needs to be fair across the board. I propose we shut down BET because that caters to one race only and frankly is racist.

Now go home and eat another Tide pod.

This is ridiculous. And completely missing to point of high school plays. Now if a broadway version of The Color Purple has white people cast as slaves, we can talk about institutional racism. But this is a high school play! You only have so many kids who audition! My daughters' school did Mary Poppins and they had girls playing Burt and Mr. Banks because not enough boys auditioned that could carry a tune.

You know what would be sad? Putting a kid that couldn't carry the part out there to fail on stage just because of her skin color. She would be ridiculed by her classmates for the rest of the school year. That would be far more cruel than not casting her.

I don't know if I'd go as far as doing away entirely with a music department because of one isolated incident. My daughters have both done musical theater for awhile now but have stopped because the casting situation can be stressful and unfair, and they just got tired of getting the ensemble chorus parts. A lot of times it's not based on talent (IMO), but it's just personal favorites of the teachers who keep getting the best parts.

In any case, I see that the original Berlin production of this musical had a white woman in the Esmeralda part. The US version did have a black actress when it made its US debut (but not on Broadway - I think it was in California).

I also see Ithaca HS is 66 percent white, and 10 percent black. It may be tough to cast parts based on ethnicity when your school isn't that diverse to begin with. In comparison, my girls' high school is 35 percent white, 31 percent black and 21 percent hispanic, but we're one of the most diverse cities in the country.

Me thinks the girl who complained needs to brush up on her Romani history and not depend on a Disney Cartoon Movie as the basis for a complaint.

If Esmeralda is supposed to be Romani she might have a slightly darker complexion but not necessarily so...

Most Roma were still in Europe in the early 21st century, especially in the Slavic-speaking lands of central Europe and the Balkans. Large numbers live in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, the Czech and Slovak republics, and Hungary.

Esmeralda's birth-name was Agnès. She is the love child of Paquette Guybertaut, nicknamed 'la Chantefleurie', an orphaned minstrel's daughter who lives in Rheims. Paquette has become a prostitute after being seduced by a young nobleman, and lives a miserable life in poverty and loneliness. Agnes's birth makes Paquette happy once more, and she lavishes attention and care upon her adored child: even the neighbours begin to forgive Paquette for her past behaviour when they watch the pair. Tragedy strikes, however, when Gypsies kidnap the young baby, leaving a hideously deformed child (the infant Quasimodo) in place. The townsfolk come to the conclusion that the Gypsies have cannibalised baby Agnes; the mother flees Rheims in despair, and the deformed child is exorcised and sent to Paris, to be left on the foundling bed at Notre-Dame

She is a French Roma girl (near the end of the book, it is revealed that her biological mother was a French woman).

Thats part of the irony of the plot. Quasimodo is actually the gypsy, not Esmerelda.

Whats the availability of hunchbacked high school drama club gypsies at the Ithica Public High school while we are at it?

These people are morons. Just uneducated idiots. let them make a comic book play.

Good grief. I give up. Its all just the just stupidity coming from a place where they are supposed to cure that sort of thing, not cultivate it.

Oh and frick Disney for ruining shite, including star wars.

Based on he above Esmeralda is of French ancestry and would NOT be considered a person of color.

Seems Disney created a myth that Esmeralda is Romani and people bought it. The Mouse doesn't lie does he?

If a few white people have to lose jobs or roles in the name of diversity than yes absolutely. White people don’t like sharing so it’s up to us to take their ball away and give it to people of color.

It's a musical. Shouldn't the person with the best voice get the role? You think race should come before talent? Is that what you are saying??

If a few white people have to lose jobs or roles in the name of diversity than yes absolutely. White people don’t like sharing so it’s up to us to take their ball away and give it to people of color.

lol, now you are just trolling because that makes no sense. I applaud the effort though as it allows everyone else to realize what total nonsense you spout.
