Letter To All Parents From A Concerned Parent

January, 2001

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Re: Kid-Safe Productions Musical "Bugs, Bubbles and Blobs"

Being a mother of a 3 year old boy and a 5 year old girl, I am very choosy about the types of entertainment my children are involved with. Whether it be a movie or an educational presentation.

I am particularly wary when so-called educators present live theatre to young children, especially on the subject of abuse, divorce or any other social issue that affects children.

When I heard about Bugs, Bubbles and Blobs, my radar went up immediately and I worried about the kind of language and images my children might perceive.

I was gladly mistaken. Not only was the show entertaining for me, but my 3 year old son, whose only interest seems to be trains, sat still, entranced by the music and the messages portrayed in this lively and gentle play.

When we got back home, despite the fact that the play was aimed at a slightly older child than my son, I even heard him repeating lines and important messages like "stop" and "my space". I'm glad now that we had a chance to experience an important subject together and that his first encounter with live theatre was so rewarding.

Sincerely,

K.S. Menard
Concerned Parent
