Kids in the hall

As a Children's Theater, we're obviously seeing more children than other organizations. Here's our general policy on the age of our young patrons:

 

A Note About Age Recommendations, Young Children and Babies
To assist you in choosing plays most appropriate for your family, we offer age recommendations that take into consideration a specific production's performance style, length and subject matter. Our plays can be enjoyed by children, teens and adults alike, but you are the best judge of your child's ability to understand and appreciate a specific play. If you have a question about a specific production, please call our Patron Services Manager at (414) 267-2961.  While we welcome children ages three and older and their families into our theater, we recommend that children under age three do not attend our performances.  Please keep this in mind when making your ticket purchase.

 

In practice, if a family brings a young child under the age of three into our theater having already purchased tickets, we won't turn them away, but we do remind them that should the child be disruptive the parent should remove them from the theater immediately. Our ushers enforce this policy. Additionally, all patrons regardless of age (including "lap babies") must have a purchased ticket.

We strongly suggest that you read the descriptions carefully and take into account the age guidelines provided, as well as the show genre and length. The New Victory works with the companies that created the shows to develop age guidelines, while also considering audience feedback during past presentations.

We urge you to refrain from bringing kids younger than the minimum age indicated. For additional information on the age appropriateness of a show, call 646.223.3010.

Hey marketing folks:

Do you have a written policy on how and when you allow young children in the theater?  If so, can you send it my way?  We’re revising ours and wondering what others are doing.

 

Thanks!
