Parental Discretion & Content Warnings
We take into account that our audience is diverse and has had diverse experiences. Summer Shakespeare Series 2024: Tius has touched us from script development and into rehearsals. We would like to provide a service modeled after the crowdsourced content warning website DoesTheDogDie.com. You may go to that site to see their complete list of tracked categories.
Below you will find the categories we found present in our story. We provide notes to indicate that these have been lightened or moved to off-stage. Though we removed some of the most heinous crimes from this play, it is probably still rated R. Please consider this rating before choosing to bring your younger children to this show.
We hope you find this list helpful. Feedback is always welcome and a form can be found at the bottom of this page.
