I love Slings and Arrows.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, Slings and Arrows is a brilliant television series that debuted in Canada in 2003. The critically acclaimed series chronicles the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" surrounding the New Burbage Theatre, a Shakespearean theatre festival where it seems, life indeed, does imitate art. The brilliant writing of the show has an incredible capability to be simultaneously emotionally touching, and hilariously.
The Drama 3/4 Honors students of 5th period, have been able to enjoy to enjoy the first two six-hour seasons of the show over the course of the last two semesters, and hope to complete the third, and final season of the show next semester, following the Spring Production. If however, you have not had a chance, yet to see this show, you totally need to. Its too funny and too good to pass up. You can probably get the DVD from Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

I, too, adore Slings and Arrows -- I think it's not only the funniest series I've ever seen, it offers the truest picture of the life theatrical (not just of the actors, but of all the types of people involved in putting on theatre) of any film or series I know.
How wonderful that your students have been able to see this gem!
