PLANNING YOUR VISIT TO THE THEATRE

ARRIVAL:
Please arrive 30 minutes before the show starts. A supervising teacher will need to report to the Front of House Manager to confirm numbers and special requirements.

ENTRY:
School groups will need to meet in Wheeler Place prior to entry into the main foyer. A staff member will direct your group’s entry into the theatre.

SCHOOL BAGS:
Due to safety obligations, we cannot allow school bags to be carried into the theatre. If at all possible, leave them at school or on the bus. If you must bring them with you to the theatre, you will be asked to leave them outside the auditorium.

They will be minded by staff members, but it is always a good idea to take your valuables with you.

DURING THE SHOW:
One of the best things about going to the theatre is seeing and sharing the experience with the rest of the audience. Show your appreciation of the performance (the actors love it!)

Teachers are responsible for ensuring:
 * That no food or beverage is taken into the auditorium,
 * That students do not speak during the show,
 * That students do not use their mobile phones,
 * That students do not take photographs or video.

SPECIAL NEEDS/REQUIREMENTS:
Please advise us as soon as possible of any special needs for your students. We have a number of spaces allocated for wheelchairs and if required, hearing assistance, however arrangements must be made in advance.

We look forward to welcoming your School to Civic Theatre Newcastle in 2010!
