Every person, regardless of age, must have a ticket to gain admittance to the theater including babes in arms. Children must be accompanied by an adult; please help them to be considerate of other patrons. The Pillow welcomes young audiences as part of its mission "to engage and deepen public appreciation and support for dance". As an art form that explores and celebrates the human experience in all its facets, dance offers a wide spectrum of sights and sounds in live performance. A number of shows each season are presented as Youth Matinees, selected as programs that are especially accessible for young viewers. Although a youth discount is offered for all performances, parents may not find each and every program to be equally appropriate for their children. If you have any questions about the content of any particular program, please contact the Box Office.
