Family Guide and Content Information
THINKING ABOUT BRINGING THE KIDS TO A SHOW? CONCERNS ABOUT CONTENT? THESE GUIDELINES CAN HELP YOU DECIDE.
We believe that sharing the theatre with youngsters can be a life-changing experience, but some shows are more family-friendly than others. Our guidelines below can give you a general idea of what might be appropriate, but you know your child best. If you have questions or want to talk further about any show’s content, just call us at 800.294.1816.
Generally, if your child can pay attention to a full-length movie in a dark cinema, he or she will probably enjoy a theatrical event. Many shows suggest no children under the age of 4. All children must have a ticket, regardless of age, and any guest causing a disturbance in the theater will be asked to leave.
