April is Entertainment Eiquette Month in our Choose Civility Campaign.
In the Blog this month we are focusing on theatre etiquette.
A lot of us love the theatre, and whether it is a live performance or a movie; is there such a thing as theatre seating protocol?
Etiquette suggests: to arrive in the theatre 15 minutes before hand to allow for visitation to the restrooms and concession stand and to also allow time to find your seats.
If while searching for your seating number, you pass in front of those patrons already seated in your row, make sure you face them. This allows you to greet them and excuse yourself, rather than putting your backside to them as you pass.
It is not polite to get up during the performance, or leave early, unless it is an emergency. These actions are distracting the people around you; Often…. right at the best part of the show.
Remember, the pleasure of these events is enhanced by your behavior towards others and the behavior of others towards you.
