Content Warning Hub
Musicals can contain heavy subjects.
As theater enthusiasts, many students are exposed to explicit language, triggering subjects and overall content that reaches past their level of maturity. How can we meet our students where they are, encourage them to continue exploring musical theater, and give them the tools to navigate the emotions that come with hearing about these topics?
