Frequently Asked Questions

How long are The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati's MainStage performances?

Shows typically last about one hour.

Is there an intermission?

No, all of our shows run without an intermission.

What should we wear to the Theatre?

Casual or formal attire is always welcome. Sometimes children even dress as their favorite character from the show. It's all up to you!

How old should my child be to attend the Theatre?

For our school performances, children under the age of three are only permitted at our designated Home School performances on Tuesdays at 12:30pm.

For our public performances, we have age suggestions for each production listed on each show's page, but we usually look to parents and guardians to make their own choices. If your child can attend a children's movie in a movie theater, they should be just fine seeing one of our shows. Our shows are actually shorter than the typical children's film. If your child gets antsy during a production, you're always welcome to join us in the lobby area.

How can I find out if an ArtReach Touring production is playing in my area?
