While our performances are reserved for patrons age 5 and up, there are many ways to make a CENTERSTAGE outing a family affair.

• Family Memberships
  Add a child between the ages of 5 and 17 to any adult membership at deeply discounted rates. And CENTERSTAGE Members can always buy half-price student tickets on a show-by-show basis for all CLASSIC Series performances. The Box Office can help you pick the best option for your child and type of membership. 
• M&T Bank presents Kickin’ It With the ‘Rents
  For one designated performance of each CLASSIC Series production, families with children join us for a pre-show dinner by Classic Catering, a conversation with the cast, and tickets for the performance—all at the family-friendly price of $10 a ticket. LEARN MORE >>
  

AGE-APPROPRIATNESS

How do you know if a show is appropriate for your child? Only you can decide—but we can help. On the website for each production, we’ll describe any language, themes, or situations that might require a parental judgment call. When in doubt, contact our Box Office; they can give you up-to-date information you can use to inform your planning.

And, as mentioned above, unless explicitly stated otherwise, out of respect to our actors and audiences we are unable to admit children under 5 to CENTERSTAGE productions.

OTHER PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN

Our Department of Community Programs & Education sponsors several programs specifically for children interested in the theater. From our Young Playwrights Festival to Monday Encounter post-show workshops to our student Apprentice Program, we enjoy nurturing budding artists and audience members. LEARN MORE >>
