An amateur performance of School of Rock sparked some controversy at two New Jersey elementary schools after teachers made their students leave the theater due to coarse language.
"It was enough where I thought to myself like ‘the school is going to get some phone calls later' but I didn't think we would leave because of it."
Hill returned to the Ritz Theater with her daughter on Friday night to watch the performance in-full. The theater says students who were forced to leave can return to a future show for free.
