With the now-formed troupe filled with other failing actors and actresses, they need to face a rival group that is popular towards students. The troupe didn't like the rival troupe because they are overrated and everyone is liking them for their looks, appearances and riches instead of true talent. Also, the rival group is racist towards blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims and Native American students. So the troupe decided on the name, 'Justice Troupe' because everyone deserves justice despite their race or religion.
