A Texas school district canceled a high school’s fall musical after a female student was cast as the male lead. The decision, it said, was an effort to comply with the state’s anti-drag law — which was struck down in August.

Ana Mota, a senior at South Grand Prairie High School, was initially cast as Seymour in her school’s student production of Little Shop of Horrors following days of what she described as tough auditions, The Dallas Morning News reports. The starring role, Mota told local ABC affiliate WFAA, was supposed to be one of her final performances before graduating next spring.
