Oh Behave
Utah Festival Etiquette and Policies
We want every guest to have the best time ever. To make sure we’re one big happy family, please obey these golden rules:
1. No crinkling. We know those hidden
Bluebird chocolates are calling your name, but please don’t open the bag during the performance. If you might possibly need a lozenge, breath mint, or whatever, please unwrap it before the show begins. 2. Cell phones. Please turn them off. Even on silent, they will interfere with the sound system. 3. Texting. Your phone does not possess secret powers that make the screen invisible to everyone but you. Please don’t annoy or distract your neighbors. Feel free to tweet the universe about your amazing Utah
Festival experience, but please do it during intermission or after the show.
4. Talking. This theatre has amazing acoustics and 316 other people can hear every word you say. The performance begins when the music starts, not when the curtain goes up.
Show the orchestra some love—the overture is their time to shine.
5. Kids. We love them, but babes-in-arms and children under 5 are not allowed. This stuff is just too cool for them. Also, take your other youngsters (or spouse, etc.) out if they disturb the peace. 6. Tardiness. We’d love to hold the curtain for you, but if you’re late, we will seat you at intermission or at the first appropriate interval. In the meantime, relax and watch the show on the TV in the lobby, which is better than missing the whole thing.
Policies: Boring but Necessary
