How old should my child be to attend an M&W Playhouse Production?

We recommend that a child in our "Playhouse" Individual Audience should be AT LEAST 3 (THREE) YEARS OF AGE or have had pre-school experience and accustomed to sitting in 'their own seat' and not on a parent's lap. WE DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE ATTENDANCE OF CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN THIS AGE. This is due to the strong possibility that a child of younger years has great potential of becoming disruptive to the rest of the audience for any number of reasons, i.e. unusual costumes, amplified voices & music, loud audience reactions, close proximity of performers etc...

Our seating is limited and can not accommodate a portable car seat set on the floor, or a bag with extra amenities that younger children require. There is a 'Library' in the Playhouse where strollers, car seats and a bag of supplies can be left and available to you during the performance.

For our weekday performances we take every effort to place our youngest audience members in seating appropriate to their age and in the proximity of a parent/guardian. We know that this is not always possible that a younger child can be left at home so we DO NOT CHARGE for their attendance should you need to bring them along.

We do ask that if your child (no matter the age) should experience a 'melt-down' during the performance that a parent or guardian carefully escort the child to the rear of the theatre or to the lobby.
