Theatre Ettiquette

Here is a crash course in how to behave when you go see a show. Gainesville is a pretty lax town when it comes to dress, meaning you can wear jeans and a t-shirt but somethings should not be forgotten.

• Turn off all phones
• Never answer your phone during a performance- if you must, please take it outside
• It is very distracting to the cast and the rest of the audience to hear comments about the play during the performance. Laughter and applause are fine, but that's all
• No eating or drinking- this keeps the theatre clean as well as the audience not hearing wrappers
• Arrive on time- it is difficult for even the best actor to recover when people come in during a scene
