SEATING & USHERS
When you arrive, tell an usher the name of your school/group and they will direct you to your seating location.

BEFORE THE START
Please allow ushers to seat individuals in your group in the order that they arrive in the theater. Once everyone is seated, you may then rearrange yourselves and escort students to the bathrooms before the performance starts. Please spread the adults throughout the group of students.

DURING THE PERFORMANCE
Please remain seated during the performance. If you have any questions, concerns or complaints (for instance, about your comfort or the behavior of those around you), please immediately report the situation to an usher.

DISMISSAL
Please remain seated following the performance. For the safety of everyone in the theater, a staff member will come to the stage and dismiss each group individually.

When your group is released, please exit the performance hall through the same door you entered.
