Festival Etiquette
A Baboró Steward, wearing a Baboró Staff T-shirt, will meet you at the recommended bus stop for your venue.
- Please line up by twos (the buddy system) and remember to stay with your class at all times.
- Please WALK to the theatre and WALK when you are inside the theatre. If you become separated from your group, please find a Baboró Steward, for assistance.
- Please take the seats one by one, filling out each row before starting a new row. Most of the shows are sold out and all of the seats will be needed.
- No Eating or Drinking inside the theatre.
- Please put all back packs or bags under your seat.
- Please turn off all mobile phones.
- Please stay in your seats.
- Please do not talk during the performance; it disturbs others including the performers.
- If you need to use the toilets, please ask a Baboró Steward to help show you where they are located and always go to the toilets accompanied by another child/or teacher.
- After the performance please stay seated until the Baboró Steward dismisses your row.
- Be sure to take all of your belongings with you as you exit the theatre.
- Most of all, sit back and enjoy, this festival is for you.
Note: Dear Teachers, please put the name of the performance on the board so that children will be able to inform their parents what they are going to see.
