This week is performance week for Carrollton High Schools Performing Arts for their show: Dot & The Kangaroo.

In this play, Brayden plays a peacock. A peacock that is written as a character that is flamboyant, fun, and fabulous. Brayden helped choreograph the dance for this role/song for this character and his fellow birds.

Before lunch on Wednesday, Brayden finds out that during the day performances were cancelled (to the other schools in the system).

The school’s stance is: “The play as a whole is inappropriate for the other schools and that not one specific person or part is the reason for pulling it from being performed.”

HIS costume was the MAIN one that was changed. HIS part in the play was the only one that was asked to be modified and in that part/costume. HE is the only one that’s gay, out, proud, and fearlessly himself.”

Brayden has asked for OUR COMMUNITY to show up for HIM! For all those who are different, to fill the room so full of love that he can’t even feel the hatred from those who don’t believe in him.

While there has been an outpouring of support from the community to show up and support the drama department live at their play, we also would like to note that the school is performing for free, meaning that they will not be raising funds to help with their productions. We would like to help fundraise for them. All funds collected from this campaign will be donated directly to the CHS Drama Department.
