I've always been a theater kid, and I've been in my high school's theater department since freshman year (I'm a junior now). Our theater department is kinda cursed because we're very underfunded and undervalued (as public school drama programs tend to be), and we're on our third theater teacher in 3 years. At the beginning of the year our new teacher seemed cool, but things soon felt off. She kept getting into arguments with students, often in front of the whole class and dragging other students into the drama. As soon as she had a small problem with a student she'd kick them out of the play or remove them as club officer, and we probably have half as many people in the class and club as we used to (we didn't have many people to begin with). She gets pissed when people don't communicate with her, but she can't receive constructive feedback at all. Other big problems are that she gets our hopes up, makes promises she can't keep, is flaky with plans, and doesn't have good boundaries. Like, she'll be 2 hours late to rehearsals, lie about having purchased the rights to a certain show, and ask students to run errands for her. She's not professional and doesn't establish a good environment in general, but she also has personal beef with me. She has obvious favorites, which like fine, but she'd constantly forget about me, pick on and embarrass me in front of my friends, and only give me confusing and discouraging acting notes that didn't help me at all. Her mean spirited attitude towards me and her fake chill facade led me to push back some, like stand up for myself or just saying that we needed more information and clarification about whatever. Eventually things were just tense between us, and after one particular incident I decided to drop her class (she made fun of me loudly when I told her I was leaving). However, recently she announced that we're doing a musical and I decided to audition because I'd never gotten to do a musical in high school, I decided maybe I could give her another chance, and most importantly I've been performing community theater since I was little and I've been taking voice lessons for 3 and a half years. I'm a good singer, and the only one of the theater kids who's actually a trained singer. Anyway I auditioned and she cast every single person who auditioned except for me. Even the kid who makes everyone feel physically and emotionally uncomfortable. And didn't even put me on tech. It crushed me because I sound insane, but I know it was bias because she dislikes me because after several months I got tired of sucking up to her. Also, she clearly doesn't know what she's doing, as she hasn't actually told anyone what the show is (she's writing a story herself and using pre existing musical theater songs I guess? She's still writing it) so I probably dodged a bullet. She's also leaving at the end of the year so this isn't forever, but I just wanted to rant and know if I'm in the wrong, especially since so many people are somehow still on her side, including one of my best friends (even after he heard that the teacher literally asked another student if I'm racist. Like wtaf?? That's so inappropriate and I never gave her a reason to think that I'm racist). Anyway AITA for not getting along with my theater teacher and still being pissed about this whole thing?
