Though some shows may allow children to attend, parents may be surprised to hear a comedian, who is normally conservative on television, become suggestive or use profanity on stage. By the same token, some production shows with topless performers are done in extremely good taste and are not offensive. As with anything regarding kids, we recommend that you take the normal amount of caution in determining the suitability of each show. When chosen with discretion, most shows will be great experiences for all. |
