It would be considered child endangerment and the director would be arrested but not necessarily thrown in jail, but would be brought in for questioning and probably fined in allowing scenes like that with an underage actor. Thought anyone would like to know U.S. law in regards to a situation like that.

The laws are different here though; the age of consent is 16. Besides, the whole nudity thing is blown way out of proportion, it's not as if it's for the whole duration of the play and anyway, he's growing up so these sorts of scenes will become more of an option. It's just that people have a hard time accepting the transition from child star to adult actor. By the time the play starts showing, he'll be very nearly 18.
