We are delighted to have you join us. The following guidelines will help you
have an enjoyable experience at our theatre.
- Please be on time. Latecomers will be seated ONLY at the discretion of house management.
- Remember that the performers are in the same room with you and are
affected by what you do. You can help them do their best by watching and
listening carefully.
- Cellular phones and pagers interrupt a performance. Please be sure
that they are turned off. TEXT MESSAGING IS NOT ALLOWED DURING THE PERFORMANCE. House Management will confiscate any cellular phones that are used during the performance.
- CD players, radios and other electronics
are not permitted in the theatre. Please do not bring them with you to the
performance.
- The use of a camera or any type of recording equipment is not allowed.
- Please eat before coming to the performance. Food and beverages are
not allowed in the theatre. Audience members must refrain from eating or
unwrapping candy during the performance as it causes distractions for others.
