6. Do avoid singing or humming along with the performers.
5. Do adjust hearing aids so they can not be heard by other theatre goers.
4. Do use restraint in the application of prefumes, and colgnes, as many of our patrons suffer from allergies.

2. Don't unwrap cellphane candies during a performance, since it is impossible to do so quietly.
1. Don't leave your seats and head for the exits until the performance is complete, the performers have left the stage, and the house lights have come up.
