Theatre Etiquette - A Matter of Respect
Be
Orderly Safety is our primary concern. It is imperative
for students to enter and exit the theatre in an orderly fashion. No running,
pushing, or horseplay.
Listen and Observe There is much to hear (dialogue,
music, sound effects and voice inflection) and much to see (costumes,
props, set design, lighting effects and architecture of the theatre).
Refrain from distracting the actors and others Use
of cameras, camcorders and flashlights is not allowed during the performance.
Restrooms should be visited before or after the performance, if possible.
Steady streams of students leaving and re-entering the theatre distract
the performers and audience alike. Inappropriate noises may be fun to
the individual but very distracting to others.
Unacceptable or dangerous behavior - Throwing objects is
dangerous; spitting is unsanitary; inappropriate noises are disturbing.
Such behavior will result in a student or class being asked to sit in
the lobby or leave the theatre during the remainder of the performance.
If any objects are thrown on stage, the show will be stopped. Balcony
seats seem to invite unacceptable behavior. Teachers, be alert!
No chewing gum and snacks Food and gum are not allowed
inside the theatre. Teachers please see that snacks and gum are left on
the bus or deposited in trash receptacles at the theatre entrance.
Dress appropriately Attending the theatre is a special
and exciting occasion. Dress clothes are appropriate.
Thank
you and enjoy the show!
