Four Catholic High Schools in the Archdiocese of San Francisco are
scheduled to host a performance of the condom-endorsing sex-education play
Secrets. The play was written by openly lesbian playwright Patricia Loughrey.
Secrets will be performed on October 14, 2009 at Sacred Heart Cathedral
Preparatory High School in San Francisco; on November 5, 2009 at Sacred Heart
High School in Atherton; on January 19, 2010 at Mercy High School in Burlingame,
and on February 9, 2010 at St. Ignatius College Preparatory High School in San
Francisco.
The play depicts a teenager who is HIV positive. Some content in Secrets
was considered, by the Fremont, California Unified School District, to be
sufficiently graphic to require that a permission slip be signed by parents
before their child would be allowed to see it. The Fremont Unified School
District also posts an online flyer (in English and Chinese) for parents,
informing them of the performance, and inviting them to watch a video of Secrets
before giving their permission. The flyer also describes two of the scenes: “A
character dumps dozens of brightly wrapped condoms on the floor with a
discussion about which type of condoms are the best to use and how to use them
effectively.” Another scene is a “Discussion about contraceptives and a visual
display of them.” The production of Secrets in the San Francisco Archdiocese is
sponsored by the Educational Theater Programs division of the Kaiser Permanente
HMO.
