THEATRE ETIQUETTE
Help ensure our actors deliver their best performance with these simple suggestions:
- Theatre is a special treat! Even though there is no dress code, please consider this an opportunity to dress up. We love to see it!
- Please arrive early. The lobby will open 60 minutes before curtain and the doors to the theatre will open 30 minutes before curtain. This can be an opportunity to get something from our concession area and use the restroom before the show begins. If your tickets are not claimed five minutes before curtain, they become eligible for resale and ineligible for refund.
- If you are running late, you will not be allowed to enter the theatre space by yourself one the show has begun. You will need to be escorted by the House Manager or Usher who will let you in during an appropriate time (likely a scene change).
- Please turn off your cellphones and smart watches. Refrain from checking text messages or social media during the production. It is distracting to those around you, and our actors. Our actors can see the glow from the stage. It's awkward. We can all see the glow of your phone or watch.
- Please also refrain from talking, chatting, or singing along during the show. Not only is this distracting to those around you, but our actors CAN hear you while they are on stage.
- There is to be no video or photography during any performance. This is a violation of our contract with the rights companies. Backdoor Theatre can get in big big trouble for this. You are more than welcome to take photos with the cast and crew after the performance.
