Sounds like the actors took it a little too far. I have attended productions led by therapists that did not let the actors get too out of hand. I hope this group moderates their performance based on the audience feedback.

Maybe if you took some positive action? Like a short email to the instructor telling them you found it a tadtoo realistic? While you understand the need for realism, any child who has witnessed dv irl doesnt really need to see it reenacted - they need viable solutions practiced.
