Theatre Ettiquette

Rule #1

Don't Have Conversations

NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

• Even if you really want to add pictures to your Facebook timeline, this can VERY distract the actors.
• Try taking pictures at the end of the performance, when the actors are taking their bows. This is much less distracting than when their preforming.

Rule #3

Turn Off The Cell

Take Care Of Your Trash

• When you are done with the performance, properly dispose of all waste collected during the performance. This eliminates any extra work to be done by the cleaning staff.
