Theatre Audience Etiquette

Arrive On Time

Late arrivals disrupt the other audience members and may prevent you from being able to enter the theatre until a break in the action. Trespassing-Signs/No-Admittance- Sign/SKU-K-1021.aspx

Also, keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the bathroom until intermission or the end of the performance. Take your bathroom break when you have the chance! restroom-multiple-conflicts/

No Food

Food is often not allowed in the theatre. Wait until intermission to grab a bite to eat. crazytown/2013/02/theatre- etiquette/comments/page/4/

Disruptions

To avoid distracting other audience members or the performers themselves, make sure to turn off all of your mobile devices or other noise-making technology. arts-theater/theater-etiquette.html

Using a camera to take pictures or video is against copyright laws and is therefore not allowed. It’s also very distracting for your fellow audience members.

Talking or whispering during the show can be distracting and annoying to those around you. But don’t be afraid to laugh if the performers make a joke! ephemera.blogspot.com/2011/12/m ovie-theatre-etiquette.html

Get Involved

The performance will be more fun if you show your appreciation for the performers. Laugh at the jokes and applaud after each act—performers love applause! m/pages/theatre-etiquette/

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! 009/jul/27/comedy-gigs-humiliation
