I want to voice my support for Art Alive!, Ms. Davis, Ms. Durkin, and all the kids who put on such a wonderful and invigorating performance. It is undoubtedly difficult to stage a play that engages so many kids of that age - a play which neither talks down to them nor pushes into age-inappropriate areas. In this sense, the production of Broadway Rules was well-balanced and thoughtful. It is unfortunate that a vocal minority raises questions after the fact; questions that could have been raised at any point during the 12+ weeks of pre-production. I know that neither I nor my kids will hesitate to support and participate in future Arts Alive productions, and I hope that the community will likewise acknowledge the value that this experience brings for our town and our children.
