2012 Music Circus Family Guide

California Musical Theatre believes that parents know best what is suitable for their children, but offers these recommendations to help them in deciding which productions to share with their families. It also takes into consideration that many young children may not have the attention span for productions that usually run two and a half hours (which includes one intermission). As a courtesy to all patrons, children under 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
Please call the box office at (916) 557-1999 if you have questions about our Family Guide.
