CHILDREN’S THEATRE ETIQUETTE

Please use restroom and/or get a drink before the performance begins to avoid having to leave your seat during the show.

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.

During the performance, listen & 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.

When your group is called to exit the theatre, please move quickly and quietly toward the exit.

Mahalo!
