I'm not claiming that this play had anything to do with hookers... but for whatever reason, this dad believes that his daughter questioned the word based on her exposure to this experience (possibly from the practice cd material?).
I have no doubt that everyone worked very hard on it, and they should be able to enjoy the accollades which come from a successful production.
My point was simply that, with the mere half hour of exposure that I had during that one rehearsal, I did (briefly and inwardly) question it's appropriateness. It was not such an overt offense that I felt it needed addressing, and I didn't make a decision that it was decidedly INappropriate. My statement is just that I can see how one could question it. The fact that many people didn't see a problem with it doesn't mean that this dad's opinion and concerns should be ridiculed or minimized. His approach in dealing with his concerns, however, does deserve some scrutiny.
I am casting NO aspersions whatsoever... except perhaps on the ineffectual manner with which this dad addressed his concerns. I hardly think that this merits attention as being "scandalous"! I think it's all quite unfortunate, and I hope that everyone who participated doesn't allow this to take away from their experience. Not everyone is going to approve uproarious applause, and being able to accept and incorporate negative feedback is a valuable skill, which our children can only benefit from, with proper guidance.
