[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The obvious question: why take a ten year old to a play at the KC?  If you are doing children's theather, that'/ one thing (but not at 10 weeks!!).  Otherwise, your kid will get nothing out of the play, opera, ballet, symphony, etc.  and if they start fussing, will disrupt the entire theater, while you push past everyone in your row and try to get the child out.  This is just like taking a newborn to the movie theater (except for cry showings)--?except the audience members have shelled out much, much more money for a relaxing ADULT evening.

So why does the KC require this?  To strongly discourage parents from bringing young kids to an " adult" show-- or even an older kid show, like the Lion King. By the time your DC is 3-4, look for things in the children's theater.

But please don't take a baby to an adult show. Just no.  Instead, take the $$ you would spend on a ticket and hire a babysitter, so you can really enjoy the show without worrying about your child shrieking, or having to leave mid-way through. [/quote]

What kind of bad parent would leave their 10 week old with a babysitter? That's even worse than taking the kid to a play.[/quote]

Actually, no it's not. The worst thing is buying a ticket for a nice evening out at the Kennedy Center, hiring a babysitter, getting dressed up, perhaps a nice dinner with DH......and then having to suffer through an infant sitting next to you during the show.[/quote]
