We're a private theater, so we have much more leeway in what we do and say on stage. Some school districts are extremely restricted in what they are able to do and say on stage. I think these materials were created to provide the most opportunity to the most children. I understand the cuts for that reason, but I agree with you that sometimes you just want the real deal. This summer our theater is producing "13" - swearing, making out, and all. A notice went out with ticket order forms that the show was rated PG - 13 for language and subject matter. I'm pretty sure we'll sell more tickets than ever before! ;)
