Before We Go
Where do you report when you first arrive at school?
1st Period, like normal. There will be an announcement when it is time to come to the theatre classroom.
You are not enjoying the show, how should you act?
Remain respectful and attentive. Avoid talking, making faces, or showing negative reactions. Save your opinions for the bus ride.
How should you respond when the performance ends?
Clap appropriately to show appreciation.
Where do you put your backpack after reporting to the theatre room?
By the poster for your class, with your phone inside.
When should you use the restroom?
Before the show. Emergency trips are allowed, but you must sit at the back when you return.
(You will not be allowed to go back to your seat)
You didn't like something about the performance and want to tell your friend. When and where should you share your opinion?
Save negative comments for the bus ride, where the performers cannot hear you. Always be respectful.
After dropping off your backpack, where do you go?
To the cafeteria table labeled with your bus number.
Your friend whispers, 'That actor is amazing!' Is that okay?
No. Even positive comments can distract the actors and audience.
What should you do when it is time to leave the high school?
Listen to instructions and return to your assigned seat on the same bus.
Can you board the bus as soon as you see it?
No. Sit in your assigned seat, wait for attendance, and board in your assigned order.
What reactions are appropriate during the performance?
Laugh, gasp, and clap at appropriate times. Stay engaged; actors can see and hear you.
Which door do you enter when we return to Lynn Lucas?
Door 15, then collect your backpack and follow instructions for your next class.
Your best friend is on your bus but sitting somewhere else. Can you switch seats to sit together?
No. You must remain in your assigned seat so adults can keep track of everyone.
Can you sit next to your friends during the show?
Yes! You may choose who you sit next to at the high school-though our school has assigned seats in the theatre so please listen to directions on where to go.
You normally have A lunch. What might change on field trip day?
You will most likely have B lunch, depending on our return time. It is important that you listen when we return to hear instructions.
