Yeah, that's what I needed - - MORE pressure in high school. Sweet Jesus...

Kris, if you never saw this razor-sharp Onion News Network report before, you're in for a treat now.

There's no substantial extraneous pressure on the students who are involved in these award-winning high school shows. In the video the director says that the students who participate know what they're getting into and that they enjoy it.

I think the recent increase of professionalism in high school theatre programs teaches the students involved to have a higher level of dedication to their craft and the Rising Star Awards introduce the students to a little healthy competition.
