It will be a busy, chaotic, dark and excitable place, please take particular care to check attendees IN and OUT.Each Group/Unit will have allocated blocks of seating in the stalls or circle of the theatre.
Within those blocks it is free seating. Groups may allocate if they wish, but within their block and with some flexibility if needed should things change on the day. We strongly recommend an adult at either end of a row of seats.It is a public show, with members of the public seated in and around us. Ensure Scouts are considerate and thoughtful to other theatre goers. If there are any problems, speak to a member of Theatre staff - who will be very happy to help.
Agree and communicate an emergency meeting point a safe distance away from the Theatre or Collingwood Road for your section, should it be needed.
Finally, have fun!
Show by example how to join in with a panto - booing the baddies, cheering the goodies, shouting "he's behind you" etc.
You might even want to pack a couple of full loo-rolls for the infamous Five Toilet Roles song!
