What is a Content Warning?

The best way to describe a Content Warning is to consider it a “heads up.” A warning can communicate to an audience member that there may be certain depictions, or conversations, in an art piece that could be inappropriate or triggering for themselves.

On our Show Listings page, you’ll find icons that indicate production’s specific Content Warnings. Below you will find details of what each icon means.
