Are your shows appropriate for children?

Riverside Center is a family-oriented theater. We always seek to present live entertainment that appeals to the broadest range of customer ages, sensibilities, and tastes, while maintaining, as much as possible, the original content and integrity of each show.

Our Dinner Theater productions are selected from the classic repertoire of the Broadway musical stage. Many of the plays were written during the middle decades of the 20 th century. Content considered risqué then is now most likely considered “PG” at worst. Plays written later during the 1980s and 1990s may have some objectionable content and language, but this will be minimized as much as possible.

We do not admit children under the age of three to Dinner Theater performances. Instead, we highly recommend our Children's Theater , which is specifically geared to the age and attention level of young children (though teens and adults also enjoy these productions!).

All of our Children's Theater shows are musical retellings of classic children's stories. Because of time limitations and musical considerations, some plays may not follow the most recognizable (i.e., “Disney”) version of each story. However, our productions are always “child-oriented” and avoid offensive language, revealing costumes, or frightening scenes.

If there is any question regarding the suitability or appropriateness of a particular show, please contact our Box Office to discuss your concerns. Our customer service associates have viewed the current productions, and their first-hand knowledge of each show may be helpful.
