Theatre Etiquette and Guidelines for Audiences. No cell phones, pagers, flash photos, or videotaping please!
Credit given to EbzB Productions for the following Guidelines. Special thanks to them for compiling these!
Unlike television and movies, theatre is an art that thrives on the participation of the audience. Audience reactions and responses can be heard by the performers and have a direct effect on the quality of the entire performance. The following are guidelines to help new theatergoers understand the importance and responsibilities of being a good audience member. Appropriate audience behavior ensures a good experience for everyone.
Be Orderly and Prompt - Safety is the primary concern. Please respect other audience members and the theatre building by entering and exiting in an orderly fashion. Please, no running, pushing, or horseplay. It is best to arrive fifteen minutes early, as latecomers can disrupt the performers and the audience. Please visit rest rooms before or after the performance.
Read - A playbill is often provided to inform you about the play, production, and actors that you are about to see. Reading it before the lights dim will provide you with a deeper understanding of what you see and hear on stage.
Listen and Observe - There is so much to hear (dialogue, music, sound effects and voice inflection) and so much to see (costumes, props, set design, lighting effects and architecture of the theatre). Unlike videos, you cannot rewind if you miss something. When the lights dim before the show begins, it is the audience's cue to stop talking and begin listening.
Unplug - Please turn off or silence all electronics and anything that beeps: cell phones, cameras, watches, pagers, etc. If you are with a person who has a hearing aid that emits a high pitch, please politely alert him/her to silence it. Inappropriate noises are forbidden as they distract both the actors and the audience. Even whispering to your neighbor is considered an inappropriate distraction.
Please, Don’t Feed The Audience - Food and gum are not allowed inside the theatre. Katherine Hepburn, a great stage and screen actress, once stopped a Broadway performance when she heard an audience member crinkling a candy wrapper! Eating and drinking, while permitted in movie theatres, is extremely distracting to live performers.
Laugh Out Loud - Positive audience sounds are encouraged. You may freely and honestly respond to the performance with by laughing, applauding, crying, and expressing any other forms of appreciation and emotion. And, by all means, please do participate if asked by the actors to contribute a verbal response.
Think - Think about your theatre experience during and after the performance. How does the material apply to your life? Are there lessons to be learned? Would you make the same decisions as the characters in the circumstances given? Did the performance inspire you? Are you happy, angry, bored or encouraged by what you saw? Think it through and talk about it with others after the show.
Thank you and enjoy the performance!
