Some things to remember:

• Don't talk, chew gum or eat during the performance.

Everyone likes popcorn during the movies, but in the theater we save the snacks for intermission.

• Don't leave your seat until the cast has taken their curtain call at the end.

Not everyone stays to watch movie credits roll, but applauding for the actors is a way you can show them how much you enjoyed it. Applause is a sound actors love to hear!

• Be polite and attentive.

Many people come to see a shows for a special occasion like a birthday or a holiday; you can help to keep their evening special.

• Turn off cell phones and beepers/pagers during a performance.

This includes pagers and other electronic devices.

• No photos, please.

 Audiotape and videotape recording is also forbidden.

All these guidelines are based on one simple standard: Creating the best experience for everyone, keeping in mind that actors are live and can see and hear you -- as can your fellow audience members.
