My whole world was muffled. My sight is blocked by a light blue blur. I couldn’t hear or see a thing so I start kicking my legs to get to the surface. Suddenly my head explodes into the real world. My leg raises up onto the ledge so I can get out of the pool and dry off. From once we got here, the skies have gotten darker. It was going to rain so I walk towards my chair leaving a line of water behind me so my mother and I can pack up and go before it rains. I get to my chair and as I grab my…

because parents (likely now more than ever) are acting as filters for the content that children are exposed to that the creators of such content must appease them more than anyone. This change in my thinking has led me to examine the possible pros and cons to this relationship where theatre for kids isn’t directly for kids but for those with the money and power.
