We’re excited to share live theatre with you and your family! Our performances often run for an extended time and may include mature themes or language, so we recommend them for audience members 5 years of age and older. For more information on our show’s content, please check our content warnings listed on our show pages.

To create the best experience for all, we ask parents and guardians to think about whether their child will be comfortable sitting quietly throughout the show, including very young children and babes in arms. Should a child become upset or disruptive and impact the performance or nearby guests, we may ask you to step out with your child.
For safety regulations, all children must have their own ticketed seat.
Guests who use trained service dogs are welcome at our theatre. Please note that some performances include sudden loud sounds, bright lights, and other effects that can be difficult for dogs without specific service training and may interrupt the show.
__
Out of respect for our performers, fellow audience members, and guests who truly depend on service animals, we ask that only legitimate service dogs enter the venue. Bringing pets or untrained animals as service dogs can cause disruptions and may undermine the trust and acceptance that real service dog teams rely on every day.
Hearing Loop
Hearing loop systems take sound straight from the source and deliver it right into the listener’s hearing aid without extraneous noise or blurring. To the listener, it sounds like the speaker is right in their head. It turns their hearing aids into wireless earphones that broadcast sound customized for their hearing loss. For more information about the Hearing Loop click here for FAQs or click here to watch a brief video.
To use the hearing loop: Switch your hearing aid to the “T”, telephone, or hearing loop program. All but the very smallest modern hearing aids tend to be supplied with an internal t-coil. However, it may not have been enabled when the device was initially programmed. If you are not sure whether your hearing aid has a t-coil or if you do not know how to access the T program, your audiologist or hearing aid specialist will be able to advise.
Hearing Devices
Assistive listening devices with headphones are available, free of charge, to patrons at all performances. Contact the House Manager.
