GUIDELINES FOR PATRONS ARRIVING BY CAR

 The University requires that all vehicles parked on campus weekdays must be

registered or pay by the hour/day to park You may park in one of the paved lots or the parking garage To park in a lot stop at the information booth and purchase a daily pass before proceeding to a lot The other option is the parking garage You will

be charged an hourly rate at the garage which may be less expensive The garage is also closer to the Anderson Center

 The show is in the Concert Theater You may enter the building at either the box office or deck entrance When parking in the garage walk across Lot D: the deck

entrance will be to your left; the box office entrance up the outside stairs NOTE:

Because of the number of busses that typically attend a performance, and safety issues involved with having the students walk between the busses, cars cannot park in Lot C

TEACHERS WE NEED YOUR HELP!

In order to make the theatrical experience as pleasurable as possible for your group and all others

in attendance, we ask that you review the following with your colleagues, chaperones, and

students at least one day before your trip!

1 Plan to arrive at the Anderson Center no later than 9:45 A.M for a 10 a.m performance,

and 11:45 a.m for a noon performance Performances start promptly Doors open

approximately 30 minutes before curtain time

2 Please inform your students that:

(a) NO REFRESHMENTS OF ANY KIND (including sandwiches, candy bars, potato

chips, lifesavers, and especially GUM) are permitted in the theatre

(b) NO CAMERAS or recording equipment of any kind are permitted inside the theatre

If a camera is brought in and you see a flash go off, immediately instruct the pupil

to put the camera away

3 Please make it your and your chaperones' responsibility to ensure that your children are

on their best behavior

(a) For many students, this performance will be their first experience with live theatre

They must know that, unlike movies and television, live performers are not able to

"turn up the sound." Therefore, audience members must not talk during the performance and should wait until after the show to discuss or comment about it Also, no running, shouting or whistling at any time before, during, or after the show Ushers may ask chaperones to remove disruptive children

(b) The performance lasts approximately one hour and restroom and drinking fountain

privileges during that time must be reserved for absolute emergencies only (and then, as always, children must be accompanied by an adult)

4 House Operations will seat groups in the theater front to back as they arrive Once

everyone in your group has a seat teachers may move students as needed Follow the instructions of the house staff at all times PLEASE make sure that your children fill every seat, not leaving any empties between them

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION
