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.

He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
