Do you have any age restrictions?
3
All ages are welcome! If you’re coming with a little one who may need some extra love and attention during the performance, we recommend you try to get an aisle seat with easy lobby access. We will have a room available there for you with a TV so you don’t miss a minute of the show and can comfortably attend to their needs.
Because each child is so different, we don’t offer recommendations on which show your family should see. We highly encourage you to research our season to make the best choice for your family.
Here are some details to consider when purchasing tickets for our 2026 season:
Disney’s Newsies: This energetic musical is based on the 1992 film, with some added and changed musical numbers. Two characters fall for each other and kiss. Mild profanity is included, such as bast***, da**, and he**. Similar to the film, the musical features some stage violence where characters get hurt.
The Foreigner: Back by popular demand! This hilarious play is a Playmill favorite that includes mild profanity. The plot features an unmarried couple who discovers they are pregnant and plan to get married. No sexual content is depicted other than hugging. The show contains a portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan, shown in traditional robes. These characters are intentionally depicted as ignorant and villainous, serving to criticize hate and intolerance. Their inclusion supports the story’s central message of acceptance, understanding, and the rejection of prejudice.
Les Mis: This powerful musical is centered around themes of love, courage, and redemption, but also features complex and difficult subject matter, including social revolution, poverty, prostitution, and implied suicide. The show features multiple on-stage deaths, gunshots, and some swearing, such as bast***, he**, and G*d.
