![]() Feel free to have honest reactions to what is happening on stage. Laugh, applaud, and enjoy the show! Actors love to feel that the audience is engaged in the story. We’d rather have a patron come in jeans than not come at all out of concern for how they are dressed. Our patrons usually dress in business casual attire for most performances. We have no official “dress code” for attending shows at The Little Theatre On The Square. Please stay and cheer through the standing ovation (happens every time for our spectacular Little Theatre performances), then you may exit with the rest of the audience. Leaving while the show is in progress or before the actors have finished their curtain call is distractive to your fellow theatre goers and discourteous to the actors. We want everyone to be able to hear but we can’t help you if you don’t let us know. Please let an usher know if you are having trouble hearing, as assisted listening devices can be provided. Unfortunately, many variables exist that may occasionally hinder sound quality. The sound system for each show is professionally set by our amazing production team. If attempts are made to photograph or video during the performance, a kind usher or House Manager will require you to delete the pictures to ensure we are all compliant with copyright regulations. You are welcome to take photos in our lobby and prior to curtain time, intermission and at the conclusion of the show in the theatre. ![]() Photos or videos of any kind are not to be taken of the stage or of the performance due to copyright regulations. Photography And Videos Inside The Theatre Are Prohibited Should you mis-plan and find yourself unable to wait for a proper break, we ask that you exit the theatre during a scene change, applause, or black-out. ![]() We request that you use the facilities before the show, during intermission, and after the performance. Please refrain from using your electronic devices during a performance. Pre-show, intermission, and after the curtain closes are wonderful opportunities do update and post your status. We appreciate and encourage you sharing your Little Theatre experience via social media, but we ask that you select appropriate times to do so. The bright light emitted from the use of these devices is also a disturbance. When electronics ring and vibrate it is very distracting for both the actors and audience members. When the show is about to begin, the lights will dim, signaling it is time for the audience to put aside concerns and conversations, settle in to their seats, and prepare for the performance.Ī quick whisper to your neighbor, or an audible reaction to something interesting that happens on stage is fine but keep conversations to the intermission and after the show. If your seat is down near the stage, you also may wish to stand at the back of the theatre until intermission. Plunging into a darkened theatre could lead to a trip or fall. ![]() The usher will usually peek into the house, and escort you to your seat when the time is right. Just alert the usher that you have arrived late and ask to be seated. ![]() Usually this is during a scene break or the applause break at the end of a song. Those that arrive after the curtain goes up will be seated at the discretion of theatre management so as to not cause an interruption to other patrons as well as the actors on stage. Please arrive early to have the best Little Theatre experience possible. This allows you to find your seat, read the program, and get settled before the overture begins. It is suggested that you arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the show. ![]()
