Shows for Young Audiences

Casa Mañana often puts on shows for young people. These are called "Youth events" or "Children's Shows." They are designed to be fun for families. These shows might have earlier start times. They can also have shorter versions of plays.

Ticket prices for youth events are usually lower. This makes it easier for families to attend. Sometimes, these shows use recorded music. This is different from a live orchestra.
