Theater imitates life

It's an old wheeze, but it seems to be true.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts sent a warning to its subscribers about an upcoming production, "Spring Awakening." The show deals with mature themes (teenage sexuality, depression, suicide, molestation and abortion, partial nudity, brutality and masochism, not to mention raw language). It's not appropriate for those 15 and under, so says the theater.
My question is does this sort of entertainment belong on stage? Weigh in ... anxious to hear your comments.
