She landed the lead role. Then her school district canceled the musical

A Texas school district canceled its production of the musical Little Shop of Horrors. This decision followed the casting of a female student as Seymour, who is the male lead of the show. The cancellation occurred specifically after the student landed the lead role, resulting in the entire production being scrapped by the district. The situation highlights the district's reaction to the gender-nonconforming casting choice for the primary character in the theatrical performance.
