Age Suitability
At NAFA, we do our best to provide you with warnings about show content and age suitability. However, as we are an open access festival, it is up to the artists to self-rate their shows, and we can’t guarantee the content and suitability in each performance. Please use your discretion when determining suitability for your child, as there will be no exchanges or refunds on tickets purchased.
Please see the below classifications to help you make an informed decision about what to watch.
All Ages (G)
The content is very mild in impact.
The G classification is suitable for everyone. G performances/events may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are very mild in impact.
Parental Guidance (PG)
The content is mild in impact.
The impact of PG (Parental Guidance) classified performance/event should be no higher than mild, but they may contain content that children find confusing or upsetting and may require the guidance of parents, teachers, or guardians. For example, they may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are mild in impact.
PG-rated content is not recommended for viewing by people under the age of 15 without guidance from parents, teachers, or guardians.
Mature Accompanied (MA 15+)
The content is strong in impact.
MA 15+ rated material contains strong content and is legally restricted to people over the age of 15. It contains elements such as sex scenes and drug use that could have a strong impact on the viewer.
A person may be asked to show proof of their age before attending an MA 15+ performance/event.
Children under the age of 15 may not legally watch MA 15+ rated material unless they are in the company of a parent or adult guardian. Children under the age of 15 who attend an MA 15+ performance/event must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian for the duration of the performance/event. The parent or adult guardian must also purchase the ticket for the child. The guardian must be over the age of 18 and exercising parental control over the child.
Restricted (R 18+)
The content is high in impact.
R 18+ material is restricted to adults as it contains content that is considered high in impact for viewers. This includes content that may be offensive to sections of the adult community. A person may be asked for proof of their age before attending an R18+ performance/event.
