Encore Series Show Rating Guide

Used for interpretation of show content and suitability for audience members.  Live performance Shows are not independently rated, we provide the following rating descriptions to inform our customers. 

We have based the descriptions on the approved Ontario film guide as follows:

Categories

General

Suitable for viewing by persons of all ages. May contain occasional violence, swearing and coarse language, and the most innocent of sexually suggestive scenes and nudity

Parental Guidance

Parental discretion is advised. May contain less subtle sexually suggestive scenes and nudity and a more realistic portrayal of violence than in the General category; coarse language may occur more often than in the General category. Theme or content may not be suitable for all children though there is no age restriction. Theme or content may not be suitable for all children.

14 Accompaniment (formerly PG 13)

May contain violence, coarse language or sexually suggestive scenes, or any combination of them. Suitable for viewers 14 years of age or older. Viewers under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

18 Accompaniment

Will contain horror, explicit violence, frequent coarse language or scenes that are more sexually suggestive than in the 14A category, or any combination of them. Suitable for viewers 18 years of age or older. Viewers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Restricted

These are “adult motion pictures” and may contain explicit sex scenes, violence or scenes referred to in section 5(3) of the Motion Picture Act, or any combination of them. The director assigns this category to motion pictures if the director considers that the theme, subject matter or plot of the adult motion picture is artistic, historical, political, educational or scientific. Restricted to viewers 18 years of age and over. Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend under any circumstances.
