Theatre Etiquette
Report
Live performances differ from something like the movies in many ways. While we want you to feel welcome and comfortable at all times, a few things will help you and those around you enjoy your experience more. Late seating is disruptive to the audience members, and to the actors onstage. In fact, for many shows, late seating is at the discretion of the stage manager and director, and may not be allowed.
