Helpful Information for Teachers & Chaperones
Seating 1600 children in 30 minutes is challenging and student safety is extremely
important which is why your participation is essential.
The following notes will help you understand our process and ensure that everyone
has a fun and educational experience!
We are able to unload and load a maximum of 3 buses at a time. In order to
do this, we ask that you keep your children on the bus until you are given directions from one of
our staff members. Students will be taken directly from their bus to their seats.
Getting back to school promptly - will ensure that students do not miss lunch, class and their
ride home. Understanding how to help us with our process will ensure that your group is
able to get back to their school when expected.
Headcounts are important, please do your headcount before you arrive at the
auditorium while in transit and immediately after the show ends so we are able to keep
the bus loading moving quickly.
Please cooperate with the ushers and resist the temptation to organize specific students seating arrangements while we are in the posses of seating your group. We usher your students directly from their bus to their seats, so consider seating students (and chaperones) on
the bus in order of how
you would like them to seat in the auditorium. You may also reorganize your group once you have
been assigned your seats.
Bathrooms are located under each lobby staircase. Women's is under the south staircase;
Men's is under the north staircase. Please take your seats before taking students to the bathrooms. Going to the bathroom and getting drinks of water during a performance can be disturbing to those around you enjoying the performance. Whenever possible, this should be taken care of before leaving
the school. We discourage bathroom breaks after the show as we dismiss according to bus arrival.
Note: A majority of school shows do not have intermissions for bathroom breaks.
We are proud to accommodate children with special needs - and in order to do this, following
these steps will ensure that we are able to meet everyone's needs.
Dimming of house lights, blackouts and strobes are often a part of many performances.
This is a theatrical technique to show a change of location or the passage of time.
Please prepare your students of this possibility and contact us if you have any concerns.
We hope that you have found this information helpful in understanding our process and
we appreciate any help you can provide in making the day a success!
