Theater Etiquette
Attending a performance is a
privilege and it is important to show respect to both the performers and to the
other patrons who wish to enjoy the performance.
Arrive on time, generally 15
minutes early.
Say "excuse me" when
you pass in front of people who are seated to get to your seat. Turn your
face toward the people you are passing. How else could they hear you say,
"Please excuse me."
Do Not Talk during the
performance. Even if you think you are whispering, you are probably
speaking loudly enough for those around you to hear. Hold your thoughts
until intermission or after the performance or movie.
Candy wrappers should be opened
before the show begins. They can be noisy to open and you might miss the
best line of show!
Cell phones quiet and dark
please.
The back light can be just as disrupting to your neighbor as the ring tone.
Enjoy the Show.
