Children

Parents should carefully consider whether a performance is appropriate for children before planning to attend. All events are open to the public and there are no minimum age restrictions. Only specific events will have a minimum age limit which will be communicated in local advertising. Should a young child be unable to sit quietly through a quiet event, ushers will ask the parent and child to step into the concourse until they can be quieted. General policy is that once a child has had their second birthday, a ticket is required. The policy supersedes number of seats required (i.e. - a ticket is required regardless of whether the child sits in the seat purchased or the parent's lap). Select shows may require tickets for all ages or ages one year and up to have a ticket.
