Report Inappropriate Comments

I would not hesitate to speak up if I thought something was inappropriate. However, I did not see anything inappropriate in the costumes, dialog or performances. Nothing.

The notion that as a parent I was cowering in fear of the Arts Alive staff, and willing to subject my child to salacious and inappropriate material in the desperate hope that my son could get a leading role is beyond absurd. I wish you had at least seen the show before passing such harsh judgment on the parents of the children involved.

My experience with Arts Alive has been entirely positive, they are open to suggestion and criticism. They are grateful for parental involvement, which is in fact necessary for these shows to work at all. I say this not because I want my child to get better roles, but because it's true.

From: Letter: Barrington grade school play was 'oversexualized' and inappropriate
