Concentrate your attention fully on the performance.

Do not talk during a performance.

• We want you to talk about a performance, but please discuss it after the performance is over.

• Respect those around you, including children, adults and performers.

Applaud courteously at the end of the performance.

• Applause between movements of a work is not appropriate.

• Whistling and yelling are not appropriate at a performance.

• I f you feel that you observed a particularly exceptional performance, a standing ovation is an appropriate acknowledgment.

Do not take photos during the performance (including videos).

• This is a distraction to the performers as well as the other members of the audience.

• Flash photos can temporarily impair the vision of the performers.

Avoid making motions or noises which might distract other audience members or the performers.

• Turn off cell devices and pagers.

• Take your cap or hat off while in the auditorium. You are not at a sporting event!

• Remember, a chair or theatre seat is to sit on, it is not a footstool.

When entering or exiting the performance hall, do so only between performances. Thank You! Spearfish FAB P.O. Box 534 Spearfish, SD 57783 facebook.com/spearfishfab
