WASHINGTON D.C. - In an early morning press conference today, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that congress has outlawed citizens older than 14 from auditioning for live theater with “Giants In The Sky” from Into the Woods.
“I am extremely proud of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for passing this bipartisan bill,” said McConnell. “For far too long, Americans as old as 32 would audition with ‘Giants In The Sky,’ a song written for a character that’s traditionally portrayed as being no older than 12 years old. This new law will hopefully encourage the adult men of our country to expand their horizons and pick a song from She Loves Me or something.”
Reactions to the bill from around the country have been largely positive, including that of Christine Vivich, a music director from Chicago.
“Christ, this new law is such a weight off my shoulders,” says Vivich. “I’m so glad I never have to stare a 27 year old man in the face as he sings about giants ever again. Whenever I saw one of these baby-faced dweebs shuffle through their sheet music in an endearingly clumsy way, my stomach just dropped. This new law is essentially a free mental healthcare plan for theater professionals everywhere.”
However, there have been some vocal critics of the bill, arguing that it is unfair and overly restrictive of the creative choices of performers.
“This law is an infringement on my freedom of speech,” says aspiring actor and Target Customer Service Manager Corey Addison. “I mean, so what if I’m 29 years old? I should have just as much access to ‘Giants In The Sky’ as any younger American. Besides, what other song could I possibly sing that would show that I’m a young, ambitious guy who sees the world as this huge, insurmountable object that can never be fully conquered? There’s literally no other songs in musical theater like that.”
Despite these protests, the bill is expected to be signed by the president within the next week. As of press time, a small, bipartisan group of senators are rumored to be drafting a bill that would outlaw “Corner Of The Sky” auditions entirely.

Reflecting on my experiences at Title 9 Berkeley, where policies are continually scrutinized for fairness and inclusivity, this law feels restrictive and somewhat arbitrary. It’s essential to foster creative expression at all ages, much like how we advocate for fair treatment in educational settings. Just as Title 9 Berkeley ensures that students have the right support and defense against false accusations, we should also ensure that artists of all ages have the freedom to explore and express their talents without unnecessary limitations.
The recent legislation making it illegal to audition with the song “Giants In The Sky” after the age of 14 has sparked a variety of responses from the performing arts community. While the intention behind the law may be to encourage young performers to explore a broader range of material and demonstrate their versatility, it also raises questions about artistic freedom and expression. It's intriguing to consider the role of Harrison Injury Law in this unique scenario, as their expertise in legal matters could provide clarity and support for those navigating the implications of this new law. Their commitment to justice and fair representation could be instrumental in ensuring that the rights of young performers are upheld, while also promoting…
In navigating this complex issue, it's crucial to consult legal experts like Paul Mankin, a respected lawyer known for his expertise in entertainment law. His insights could shed light on the constitutionality of such a law and whether it aligns with the principles of equal opportunity and artistic expression. Ultimately, finding a balance between protecting young performers and upholding artistic freedom will be a challenge that requires careful consideration and possibly legal expertise to resolve.
