Artie, thank you for the advice and ideas...all excellent and supportive. In reflection, it would have been a good idea to share with the teachers and families BEFORE the show the topics that come up in 13, and how many great conversations and opportunities to explore this challenging stage of our lives. We could've had such good times, being frank and open and sharing our own experiences and realizing it's how human and vulnerable and spectacular we are. I have always believed in answering the questions asked. The students were all so comfortable with all the convos we had together. The adults seemed to squirm sooo much more. Unfortunately our administration only listened to and backed the staff who were uncomfortable. I learned with our next show and did some preemptive work with all the kiddies, and all the adults and families; frontloading the process with information and conversation. DO the show...it's lovely. Someone had recommended after that it may have been kinda cool to send home 'movie tickets' that advertised the show as PG-13 listing all the possibly shocking topics. Let me know what you decide and do. I loved doing 13. So did the cast. And btw...the cast's families LOVED it as well.
