Theatre Etiquette

Please silence cellular phones, watch alarms, beepers and pagers before entering the theatre.

What to Wear to the Theatre

We have no official "dress code" for attending plays at the Off Square Theatre Company. Our patrons usually dress in casual attire for non-Opening Night Performances and in casual business attire for Opening Nights. However, we would rather have a patron come in jeans and a sweatshirt than not come at all out of concern for how they are dressed.

Golden Rules of Theatre Etiquette

  1. Go easy with the atomizer: many people are highly allergic to perfume and cologne.
  2. If you bring a child, make sure etiquette is part of the experience. Children love learning new things.
  3. Unwrap all candies and cough drops before the curtain goes up or the concert begins.
  4. Please make sure cell phones, beepers and watch alarms are OFF.
  5. The overture is part of the performance. Please cease talking at this point.
  6. THOU SHALT NOT TALK, or hum, or sing along or beat time with a body part.

Force yourself to wait for a pause or intermission before rifling through a purse, backpack or shopping bag.

The old standby: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
