Because of the rape, my parents said I was too young to see a local dinner theatre production. When we saw Kiley, part of a two-show weekend (my first) for my thirteenth birthday, my younger brother was the same age I had been when my parents said no. Of course, I called them in this.
Burnside Gooch (@burnsidegooch.bsky.social) reply parent
Iâve seen the show a lot and think maybe I like the score more than the show itself which has its occasional longeurs. At least the ending is always dependably strong.
