4 • October 18, 2017 • Ozaukee County Guide Entertainment Dining & Tips and Etiquette When Attending the Theater The bright lights of the dramatic stage beckon not just actors, but also the audience members who fill the seats. A night at the theater makes for an entertaining night out for couples, friends or family who enjoy and appreciate live performances. According to a 2016 survey by Nielsen Scarborough, more than 47 million Americans had attended a live theater event within the past month, and around 18.1 million people had seen a symphony concert or an opera performance in person. The famed Broadway theater district in New York City is central to the theater industry in the United States, but touring productions visit theaters across the country. Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, and Minneapolis are just a few of the many cities that boast thriving live theater attendance, while Toronto and Niagara-on-the-Lake are meccas for Canadian theater audiences. Attending theater is not like going to the movies at a nearby cinema. Show tickets cost an average of $103 apiece, according to Statistica. Live theater is an experience to behold, and adhering to live theater etiquette while also taking a few tips into consideration can further enhance the experience for all theatergoers. · Reserve early. Many popular shows sell out quickly, particularly if a notable actor is in the cast. Shop several months in advance to secure seats to popular and/or critically acclaimed productions. · Dress up. Although many theaters do not have dress codes, audience members often treat the theater as a special evening. Dress more formally than you might for another occasion, but keep comfort in mind as well. · Arrive well before showtime. If you are picking up tickets at the will call window, a good rule of thumb is to arrive 45 minutes before the curtain comes up. The house typically opens 30 minutes before curtain time, but lines can be very long at will call windows prior to the show. If you get to your seat early, use this as an opportunity to visit the often small restrooms, which will likely be packed at intermission. · Put away phones. Many theaters do not allow photos or videos of live performances. Also, resist the urge to text or update social media during the show. Even a dimmed cell phone screen can be a distraction to others in a dark theater. · Stash tissues and opened cough drops. In advance of showtime, be sure to unwrap tissues or cough drops/sucking candies so that coughing or sneezing fits can be tamed without being overly distracting to fellow audience members. · Exercise discretion with kids. Some shows are tailor-made for kids, while others may not be. Ask yourself if your child is capable of sitting through a two-plus hour show without getting bored? If so, bring them along and let them see the arts in person. Attending live theater is an entertaining pastime that attracts people of all ages. Adhering to certain etiquette and heeding some helpful advice can make a trip to the theater that much more enjoyable.
