I know there are some folks here who have done this show. Did you promote it with any sort of advisory regarding the language? (there are a few sh*ts.)

Or, I guess, a broader question...do you in general advertise with an advisory if there is any "language" at all involved? There really isn't that much in this show but I've just been used to doing shows without any issue at all.

Assuming you're "community" theatre, not "school" theatre - the only thing we warn about is the f-bomb, or worse. (See "August: Osage County" or George Carlin's "Ten Words You Can't Say On Television")

"Sh*t" belongs in the PG category along with "hell" and "damn".

If our audience members were historically sticklers for propriety, we might caution "mild language."

We do throw in something like Ed suggested "mild language"

Last show I did was "slightly adult" for content.

Did one last year "not sutable for children"
