Theater Etiquette
“Please don’t eat. Stay in your seat.
Don’t walk about. Don’t talk or shout.
Don’t take pictures, or touch the display fixtures,
And, if the babies ball, take them down the hall.”
- Allan Stevens -
There is no eating or drinking allowed in the theater, with the exception of baby bottles, sippy cups of water only. water bottles with tight fitting lids. Please save raisins, Cherrios, Goldfish crackers, and all other snacks for outside the theater so others do not have to sit in the crumbs.
Fire regulations prohibit strollers in the theater or lobby.
Keep the aisles and walkways clear during the performance to prevent tripping accidents.
No talking during the performance. If your child must talk, this is a very good opportunity to teach him or her how to whisper.
Except in emergencies (including potty breaks) patrons should remain seated.
Photography, video-taping, and recording of any kind during the show is prohibited by law. After the show, when the lights come on in the theater, puppets are brought out for picture taking.
Bench seating is for adults only, on a priority basis, so grandparents and others in need are assured a seat. Children may sit on the lap of a parent on the bench.
Seating on the carpet area will often have a special area for children that can and wish to sit closer to the stage. The House Managers will announce the seating arrangement, which may change from one performance to the next.
