It is a shame that this parent did not voice his concerns before the production or in a private way after. Calling their character into question in an open forum without even wondering what editorial process was in place is irresponsible and troubling to me. If members of the community have not worked with or seen the productions they may shy away. This would be unfortunate. I did not get to see the play in question but our family went to our daughter's event and we sought out 2 other Arts Alive productions this year. I think the Art Alive team does an amazing job helping our children put on TERRIFIC productions. Our daughter thrived during her Primrose play experience. She tends to be shy and flourished under the direction of Ms. Davis. I can't wait for her to participate next year and have full trust in the experience. This from a mom who does not at all support "princess culture" or pushing a child to be grown up. I support that Mr. Crosby wants to protect his girls. Being a parent in today's sometimes trashy culture is increasingly difficult. I just wanted to counter with what we experienced working with Arts Alive I just hope this "scandal" does not impede their mission of bringing the arts to Barrington. We are so lucky to have access to the arts, many communities are not so fortunate.
