How to watch Dramatic Performance at a real Theatre?

For the fundamentals of watching theatre politely at a public performance and in complete enjoyment - take a look at The Muny Theatre's catchy video:

Watching Performance in the Classroom

For how to watch Drama Class Performances with admiration, attention and respect - you should follow these simple rules:

The As of Audience Attention*

Allow

Be quiet and still so everyone can focus

Attend

Keep your eyes and ears on the performers

Appreciate

Notice the skills and effort of the performers

Applaud

Clap your hands to show your thanks and respect; the performers will bow

You may be asked questions by the teacher about the performance; perhaps the use of the stage, the style of performance or the narrative of the storyline in the scene.

Be prepared! Take mental notes so you can be ready to analyse and discuss performance.
