-
Walk
quickly and talk quietly as you enter the theatre. Be aware
of and polite to other persons in the hallway. Make room
for them to pass if necessary.
-
After
your group is seated, use the restroom and/or get a drink before the
performance begins to avoid having to leave your seat during
the performance.
-
Once
you are seated, you may talk quietly to the people next to
you until the performance begins. However, stay alert to
instructions or announcements from teachers, ushers or theatre
personnel.
-
When
the lights in the theatre begin to dim, it is the signal
that the performance is about to begin. You should stop talking
and turn your attention to the stage.
-
Stay
in your seat throughout the entire performance. Opening
doors during a performance is distracting to the audience
and actors.
-
During
the performance, listen and watch closely. Talking during
the performance will disturb others around you, and you may
miss the best part.
-
If
you think something is funny, it’s OK to laugh. If
you like something a lot, applaud. This will let the performers
know you are enjoying the show.
-
At
the end of the show, applaud if you had a good time. Applause
is how you say thank you to the
performer. The actors will bow as you applaud. That is how
they say thank you for coming.
-
When
the lights get brighter in the theatre, the show is over.
Please wait for announcements to be made from the stage.
If time permits, actors will come out to answer questions
or visit with the audience members.
-
When
your group is called to exit the theatre, please move quickly
and quietly toward the exit indicated by ushers or theatre
personnel.
