Theatre Etiquette

XStacy (2003)

Coming and Going

Make sure you arrive with enough time, 20 minutes prior to the show beginning is always a good idea. Be aware that for many shows if you arrive late you will not be admitted until a scene change or not admitted at all.

Lock Out

Please do not leave your seat and plan to reenter the auditorium during the performance, you may not be allowed back in!

Mobile Phones and Pagers

Please ensure these are turned off. If they do ring or beep in a performance it can be very embarrassing for you and distracting to everyone else, cast and audience members. Please be aware too that it is inappropriate to text message during any live performance.

Noises

Lolly wrappers and packets make a lot of noise. If you absolutely have to have lollies when attending a show, ensure that they are out of the packet and unwrapped.

Talking

Please show consideration for everyone else in the auditorium and resist the urge to talk during the performance, save something to chat about during the intermission and after the show.

Photographs and Videos

Photography and videoing during a performance is not permitted.

Please be advised that it is also not permissible to take photographs of the set without the permission of the producer (Black Swan Theatre Company).
