- No talking, unless audience participation is requested by the performers.If something must be said, whisper it quickly. Excessively shushing a talkative neighbor can be just as disturbing.
- Use good posture. Auditorium seating is often arranged so that the person in the seat behind can see between the two seats in front, so slumping sideways or lounging on a partner's shoulder blocks the view.
- Noises off. Turn off cell phones, beepers, audible watches, and any other sound-making gadgets before any performance.
- Lights out. Don't forget, the screen on your mobile device can be a distraction too.
- Snap, crackle, pop. No rattling of candy boxes or ice in cups, shaking popcorn containers, or slurping drinks.
- Control coughing. Muffle coughs and sneezes with a handkerchief. Cough drops and mints may be helpful, but leave if you can't stop the attack.
- Don't take flash photos or shoot video during live performances. The point is to do nothing that will distract the performers or disturb others in the audience.
- Dispose of trash, including chewed gum, in waste containers. Tell an attendant if anything was spilled, as a courtesy to the next person who has your seat.
- Entering/Exiting. Please refrain from entering or exiting while the show is in progress. If you must enter or leave during the performance please wait for a scene change so not to disrupt the performance for others.
