Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse - All questions

Address: 499 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA

For the most part we recommend some of our shows to children 10 and up. Some shows are just right for kids, especially Shakespeare comedies. Please be aware that Shakespeare was a bawdy playwright and it is the job of our actors to portray his words and stage directions as he intended. Unless otherwise noted, there will never be any nudity or blatant sexual acts on stage, but you can be sure of a certain amount of sexual innuendo (crotch-grabbing, for instance). We cannot be the judge of what is or isn’t appropriate as every parent has their own guidelines as to what they feel is right for their child to see. Infants should always be left at home, as a crying/fussy/noisy baby is a distraction for the patrons around you and the actors on stage. It has been our experience that inevitably a parent has to take the noisy infant/baby into the lobby for the duration of the performance and they miss out on the show.

No

There were a group of middle schoolers there when I saw Macbeth if that is helpful.

No limit

No age limit.

No, but some shows are not appropriate for all ages. Shakespeare can be quite PG-14 to R, even shows like Romeo & Juliet. Know the contents of the play before deciding to bring young children. Also, the actors will call out loud audience members and that could include crying children.

No infants. As for teens and children, it depends on the parent's discretion. So will there be people under 18? Possibly. Can your under 18 year olds come? If you think they can handle it.

No but the plays tend to be geared towards teens and adults not so much children.

Matt Klefstad | Oct 30, 2018

No but some content may not be age appropriate for young children

Mike K | Oct 30, 2018

No. But they give good description of plays and performances to judge age appropriate.

Don't know, and I don't think there is any. They had middle school/ high school students as volunteers when I was there.

David Melnick | Oct 30, 2018

I dont think so. Some of the plays feature loud noises and fight scenes that may be too intense for small children.

Amanda Durr | Oct 30, 2018

There isn't one that I'm aware of. However, I haven't seen many children attend. They do serve alcohol, but it's a place I'd take a 10-17 year old.

Jason Craft | Oct 30, 2018

No, they allow all ages, but you'll want to make sure that the content of the play is appropriate.
