Family theater: the young audience season at Beausobre in Morges

Why the Théâtre de Beausobre Appeals to Families

In Morges, Beausobre is not just a large hall for adults. Since 1986, this cultural center has reserved a true selection of shows designed for children each season. Families come together to experience the magic of live performance: the lights dimming, the music starting, the first shared laughter in the audience.

For a child, it is often a big first: seeing a puppet come to life, following a story told on stage, applauding acrobats. For parents, it’s a simple outing to organize, warm, and just a stone's throw from the train station.

A Young Audience Season Just for Them

Beausobre groups its family shows into a dedicated young audience program, even offering a subscription for eight shows to follow the entire season. The genres vary throughout the year: poetic puppetry, musical theater, staged storytelling, circus and acrobatics, sometimes mixed with animation and songs.

Each show is short and rhythmic, tailored to hold the attention of the youngest. The idea is not just to entertain: it awakens the imagination, discovers emotions, and teaches how to follow a story to the end.

From What Age?

The young audience program covers a wide range of ages. Each show corresponds to a recommended age, to be checked at the time of booking.

• 2-4 years: very short, visual, and musical shows (puppets, shapes, colors).
• 5-8 years: staged tales, object theater, first great stories.
• 9 years and older: more narrative plays, circus, contemporary creations.

Our Tips for a First Theater Outing

• Choose a show whose recommended age matches your child well: this is the key to a successful session.
• Arrive a little early to settle in without stress.
• Explain in a few words to the little ones what will happen (the darkness, the music, the applause).
• Prefer a daytime session for the very young, who are more available in the afternoon.
