  • 1.  Age appropriate message on posters?

    Posted 02-04-2016 12:14
    We are doing THE WEDDING SINGER for our spring musical.  We want to put some sort of notice on our posters about the age appropriate audience but we don't want to be limiting.  Can you all give me different wording you have used? I feel like "Mature Content" seems too severe.

    When I've needed a warning about appropriate content I used:

    "WARNING. Content in tonight's performance may not be appropriate for audiences under the age of  ______" in big red font. It was displayed about 3 feet from the entrance so everyone had to pass by it to enter into the theatre.

    For our upcoming production of the Crucible:

    'Mature themes which may be considered inappropriate for children under 12'

    For our upcoming Shrek:

    'This musical may contain fart gags'

    Last year we had "Recommended for audience members 13 and older due to mild language and adult humor" on our poster for A Company of Wayward Saints.

    When necessary, we will just drop a PG-13 logo on the lower corner of the poster.
