WNZR is rating this play PG for parental guidance needed for some of the reasons below.
– One of the main characters is a witch. She performed magical tricks that turn people into stone. She is portrayed as evil and may be scary to young children.

– There are mentions of spies in the woods.
– The witch mentions that they should not “spare the whip on the reindeer”, signaling a type of abuse to the animals.
– A female student is playing a male centaur.
– The character of Fenris Ulf might be a little scary for children.
