California Musical Theatre offers these viewing recommendations to help patrons decide which productions are appropriate for their families. Many children, particularly younger ones, may not have the attention span for most presentations or be interested in the themes of a particular work. This guide takes these factors into consideration as well. Of course, parents know best what is suitable for their children, but please use this guide to decide which productions to share with you family. As a courtesy to all patrons, children under 4 are not permitted in the theatre, unless otherwise noted. Please call the box office at (916) 557-1999 if you have questions about our Family Guide.
