<p>The first 3 performances have gone off without a hitch! NO protestors, AND no media! They performed a matinee Friday and invited various schools throughout the district. It was very interesting to observe the reactions from the kids from very different scio-economic backgrounds. I think it really opened the eyes of a lot of these children and made prejudice real for many of them. AAAHH, the power of theatre! Last performance is tonight.</p>
<p>And oh btw, "I" think my D did a great job! :D</p>
<p>Great to hear the show went well, NanE. Just curious: were you expecting protesters? From the fact that you say that, I am getting that, in your area, staging "Mockingbird" is controversial. I am guessing: is it the language of the play that makes it so?</p>
<p>I'm so pleased that all is going well and that maybe this will "open some eyes" in your community. I'm sure your daughter was wonderful- by the way, how does she feel about being a part of all of this?</p>
