Hi Cynthia - I'm sorry to hear about the response to what I also believe is a sweet, innocent and sassy show. It can be a challenge finding the right material to please everyone within a given community - especially when it comes to works of art which are by nature, open to interpretation. I applaud you for seeing the opportunity to bring your community back together as I'm sure the last thing on your mind was creating division. Adolesence is a tough time period...and for a reason - especially since adolescent issues can still make us grown-ups uncomfortable too. There are some customers who have issues performing Guys and Dolls in their community because it deals with gambling, so there really is no hard and fast rule about picking a show free of controversy.
I'm sharing your post with the MTISS community so you can hopefully get some words of encouragement and ideas about how to address this within your school and community. Thanks for posting - hopefully this will stimulate conversation and allow other for future learning opportunities.
